I’m at a great club that will win all the titles. It’s up to me to adapt”.

Every time we finish a game, he’s a player I want to pay tribute to in all our opponents.” I think He’s a special player, he’s got talent, he’s off-balance. In order to strengthen the team, it is necessary to find a percussionist, ball control. He has quality. With Armin Harriet injured, we said we were looking for a player with a similar profile. He’s not exactly the same type of player, but we want to be dynamic up front. It’s necessary for the way we play.”
