I have to account for the club, the owner, the supporters and the players, with whom I have always been a profession.
“I have made a lot of mistakes and I will make others in my career. But it bothers me when things that are not true. I am used to, but I know how to live in this context. As I said, I like this environment. I just want to help Marseille to reach the UEFA Champions League.
