It’s hard because we’ve been in this for more than 20 years. Imagine that everything will stop, even if we will continue to play ball for fun. To experience emotions like these is what I wish for everyone. […] I’ve always said that I wanted to get involved with young people so that they could experience these kinds of emotions. I will talk about it with President Claude Ferrandi. He knows my love for the club. We’re going to start graduating next year. »
