“The team is alive, the team wants it. I feel it every single day. The gamers that cannot tinker, they are bug that they are not tinkering. The ones retrieving spited, the ones that are there, they are in a wonderful minute.

“Points will turn upwards and we are participating in be in a much more explained place, yet we are yes there.

“I browse through the team and I have zero doubts. I think I enlightened you 3 days before that we are participating in be flying on Sunday and we initiated flying and were the much more explained team by far.

“I said to Ibou (Ibrahima Konate), ‘this is a f****** joke’ and the fourth cops believed I said to him, ‘you are a f****** joke’, so that is understandably not what I said. Yet I got a yellow and now I am on 2, so I have to be meticulous.”
