We are strong, but I know that there are teams who have recruited many players like Real Madrid, Barça, Liverpool who recruited many players, Manchester City.

I think that when a defender does that, he deserves more than an attacker, “he launched at the microphone of Canal +. The duel against Dembélé and Yamal is launched.
