General Interest

General
MOVE TO RUSSIAN FEDERATION
In 2020 he signed for Zenit St. Petersburg ahead of the 2020/21 Russian Super League season, after spending the previous three seasons in Poland with VERVA Warszawa ORLEN Paliwa. "I felt it was time to enter a new, higher stage. Warszawa was the club that allowed my career to lift up at a high international level." (lequipe.fr, 10 Jun 2020; lanouvellerepublique.fr, 09 Apr 2020)

BOARD GAMES
He says he developed a passion for board games while playing for VERVA Warszawa ORLEN Paliwa in Poland. He was also introduced to another board game enthusiast in French coach Stephane Antiga during his time in Poland. "I've always loved playing board games. When I was a young boy I used to play classics such as 1000 Bornes or Monopoly. I really got more interested when I arrived to Warsaw. I didn't know much to do and it was a good option for a pastime. I discovered very interesting games, I didn't realise some were so complex. He [Antiga] presented me with some interesting, complex games of strategy and I loved them. They are more social and fun than watching TV or playing video games, even though I love some of them too." (leparisien.fr, 14 Sep 2019)
