My passion for the game comes from the city of Marseille itself. Unfortunately I can't go back there as much I want to because I play a lot here and abroad.

I think Marseille is probably a place like Liverpool, very vibrant and very tough.

I have a need to play intensely every day, to fight every match hard.

I have decided to come back for Les Bleus.

I love Madrid. I am happy to be here. I have been here three years and hope to be here longer. But I am proud of where I come from and never forget the people I grew up with.
