I didn't think it would go so well when I came to the new team, but I would say I'm well looked after here. The bond between the teammates has been built gradually and I'm still a newcomer here. We all know that Marseille is a big club, so I expected the atmosphere in the dressing room to be a bit more chilled. I didn't expect to play so much so soon after my arrival, and every minute I play is precious. I'm always testing myself to get the feel of the game, and I feel lucky to have been given so many moments, which I hope I can continue to do."

I am confident in myself, I think I can do better and my physical condition is getting better now. Please wait a little while, I think I'll find my best at the end of the season. Marseille are second in Ligue 1? The season is still very long and I hope we can accomplish the final goal. I trust that we will be rewarded for what we have paid."
