“ I knew that I was pre-selected, so obviously, you look at the list and tell yourself that (that you have a chance of being called up, editor’s note). But I had already been pre-selected before, so I think the fact of having experienced it earlier meant that I expected it less, even though there were more chances. I had less of that excitement from the first list, but I was very happy. My girlfriend asked me in the morning: “But do you believe it?” And I told him: “I don’t really know, we’ll see.” In fact, I didn’t want to worry about it and concentrate on the Auxerre match. It’s not easy to be on the bus and learn about this (the Blues call-up, editor’s note) while you are preparing for a match. It was crazy (the atmosphere on the bus, editor’s note), and yes, my dad called me right away, and the whole family. These are good times “, confided the 23-year-old player.
