His analysis of last season
“It was a first season, I had dreamed of it for a long time. When I returned to the field, it was fun: I wanted to do everything, I ran everywhere, I was crazy. I had to adapt to this team, I tried to do my best. There are times when it was hot, when you see that you are in the red zone … Sometimes, after a loss, we would look at each other in the locker room and we had nothing to say to each other. confusion left to right, we weren’t so united. We had to keep our calm, that’s what coach Kombouaré brought. “
On the good start of the season for FC Nantes
“We had a lot of coach changes, so changes in training and tactics. With Antoine Kombouaré, that has changed: we tried to keep the same configuration, we manage to get along well and we don’t want to experience the same season as last year. Antoine Kombouaré is very rigorous, especially on our posts: we know what we have to do on the ground, we do not give up. He’s a bit strict coach, a bit like Vahid (Halilhodžić). He knows what he wants, it’s a method that works. On a personal level, he has always given me confidence. “
His memories of FC Nantes before his arrival
“I saw Nantes matches, we all know Nantes. The Nantes style game, I already knew that. I also saw goals from Djordjevic. On crosses, he put on covers … He lit, he was not laughing, it had marked me. It’s not my style, I was more into Neymar dribbling, but he was strong. Nantes opened the doors to me, they gave me everything. “
Transfer rumors sending him to Frankfurt this summer
“In Germany, I see players who are thriving. Moussa Diaby, Nkunku, Ibrahima Konaté, Mukiele … Then, I think it’s a championship that suits me well, because the attackers thrive there. It’s not only Frankfurt: if there is Wolfsburg, Bayern Munich or even Freiburg coming … England also attracts me a lot, these are the only championships I watch. Imra Louza (who signed at Watford) was sending me messages: “Come”, “Follow me” … But England, I would not go now. Maybe one day, but I need to confirm in Ligue 1. “
