“This is not news from the French national team. If you have that question, you have to come to the PSG training ground and I will answer it. It’s the country first and foremost,” he said in quotes reported by Relevo.

“It’s not something that weighs on me, I don’t think about it on the pitch. When I’m on the pitch, I don’t get involved in things that are off it.”

“Here [with France], the coach adapts to the opponent, which means I’m a different player. I can still improve and the coach gives me total freedom on the left.

“Luis Enrique gives me more structure. I adapt to all those patterns and with the two great coaches I have, I’m always interested in listening to them.

“He’s [Luis Enrique] a great coach and has a lot to teach me. From day one, I told him that he wouldn’t have any problems with me. I’ve always worked very well with the coaches I’ve had.”
