In an interview given to Canal+the former Rennais revealed that his selection captain had come to his bedside to comfort him following his expulsion.
“If we talked about the criticism with Kylian (Mbappé) after the elimination against Bayern? We didn’t necessarily talk about it but even him it touched him… he came to see me in the morning and he gave me a big hug. We always cuddle, but it was clear that he had empathy for me. It’s clear that it’s something that touched him. When I come to training in the morning and someone asks me “are you okay?, I always answer “we’re surviving”. And then he told me “yeah, I understand”.»
