The photographs were part of an exclusive collection captured by France Football prior to an interview with L’Equipe concerning his youth.
When asked what football signifies to him, he responded, “Football? I’ve had it in my life ever since I was a child. I fell in love with this game the moment I learned it existed. Moreover, I continue to adore it.
“Behind my residence stood a residential area that was enclosed, comprising a circle-shaped structure alongside the other dwellings.” The only feature in the center was a verdant field. Although not precisely a football field, we converted it into such a state.
“There, everyone gathered to play.” We, along with the children of the neighborhood, gathered there after school to play until our parents awoke us for dinner and showers.
“Thereafter, retire to bed. Following that, school… “We did it once more!”
