Alexis Blin: “I’m still very proud to have been in Toulouse”
Now in Lecce in Italian Serie B, Alexis Blin fight for the promotion to the first division. In an interview for The Midi Dispatchthe midfielder explained his choice to leave France: “I had this desire to discover a foreign title, another culture, another language. I’ve always had that actually in the back of my mind. My integration went very well, I quickly acclimatized and started to learn Italian. I manage to hear myself, to hold a few conversations now. We are in a region where the weather is good 6 days out of 7. These are superb working conditions and it is psychologically important for me, for my wife. I think I have about twenty league games this season, so indeed I would have liked to start more, but I’m not on the sidelines, I’m concerned about the potential rise and fully into the project.”
Blin also attributed himself to the subject of his time at the TFC: “There is a destiny for every choice. Fate made that at some point our paths separated, without any hard feelings for me. I am still very proud to have completed my “end of training?” in Toulouse and for having made my professional debut there. It’s a very beautiful club, a very beautiful city with people who are, whatever people say, very enthusiastic about the idea of coming to see the TFC play. It’s a very good memory for me and even today, I follow them very closely and I hope they will go up to Ligue 1, just as I hope we will go up to Serie A.”
