The player also expressed his wish to win the Coupe de France. "The French Cup? Of course it's a goal! I want to play in the Europa League. I want us to play matches on Thursdays, Sundays... Playing just one match a week, I find that "tiring". We need to qualify for Europe. We're competitive for that," he assures us.
