Me, I work on a daily basis to be able to answer present when I am called warned the Runionnais for La Provence.
If the coach can do without me, it’s because I have things to work on. It’s up to me to make sure to pose problems for him in his team composition, both in training and in matches.

I also have to serve as an example to the younger ones. They must tell themselves that if I say nothing, and that I work to regain my place, others will too when it happens to them.
