“I enjoyed every moment of the World Cup. I took advantage of it like I had never done before. A bit because I knew it might be my last World Cup. And to be honest, I think if we hadn’t been world champions, I wouldn’t be here in the national team anymore.” said the former PSG resident.
“Absolutely, but now that I’m world champion, I can’t leave the national team. I have to take advantage of all this. But at the time, it felt like I was having fun and at the same time, I had enormous peace of mind and great confidence in the group we had.” , he added.
