These last two seasons, I have grown up, I learned, and above all, I flourished in a role that suits me alongside leaders that I am proud to support. I found here a real collective, an environment where we progress together and where we give the best of ourselves. With Paul in particular, we shared beautiful moments, and it made me want to continue building. I am motivated to help the team win the image of last Saturday with Thibaud, and why not, to grasp my chances too when they arise. Envy and ambition are there, on the way for the future“.
