No, I didn’t draw a line. As long as I feel that I am performing in a club that allows me to evolve at an international level, it will certainly stay in a room of my head. (…) After, there is a coach, who makes justified choices, the team is doing very well, we have very good players in this sector, the places are very expensive ”, attributed on the subject the Olympian captain, while the duel against Lyon is in everyone’s mind.
“I have always had a special relationship with the Lyonnais”
“It is much more difficult to win in Lyon. We remain on a benchmark home game (in November 2019, 2-1), but we also have to go take away points if we want to continue our momentum this season. (…) It’s up to us to impose our game, as we try to do every weekend, and to take points against a direct competitor. With Paris, Lyon is the other event a little more anticipated than the others. The Classic remains the Classic, but the Lyon – Marseille rivalry has matured, PSG, when we look at the classification, is far ahead, subsequently explained Payet, necessarily eagerly awaited for this shock. (…) We are two teams fighting for the C1 behind PSG. Having evolved in Saint-Etienne, I have always had a special relationship with the Lyonnais, I have known these derbies. The Olympico, the best enemies, all the events during these meetings over the years … We have to prepare for a big game. “
