00:03No, frankly, what happened to me, it saddens me.

00:07Because a player like him, a leader like him, was the typical example of a leader.

00:15And I know that he too would have wanted the armband, but the day the announcement was made,

00:22he was a little sad, it's true, maybe, but after that, the very evening, he was on the attack.

00:26And I can't understand some journalists who say he was sad or whatever,

00:31because he never showed it, he never showed it.

00:33And even the relationship he had with Kylian, he called him captain in front of us, in front of everyone.
