EARLY DAYS
His father only allowed him to take up football as a child as long as he maintain good grades at school. "I forced my father a bit. I pulled his ears a little. I said, 'Daddy, sign me up for soccer'. He said, 'Okay, on one condition, you have to have good grades'. He said to me, 'Work at school, and we'll see'. I gave it my all at school and he ended up signing me up [for football training]. He surprised me. That day, I was so happy." (francefootball.fr, 19 Dec 2019)
