^ That's frustrating...

Here what Patrice Carteton, the Dijon coach, said after the game : « He still has the room to gain a step upper in the physical level. He played for the team, and he has waited the right time to showcase his individual ability. He has scored a somptuous freekick. » « Overall, he has played right. He has been very generous (in his efforts) and, despite a swollen ankle, he has gritted his teeth to stay on the pitch. We can rely on him. »

Since when do you have contacts with DFCO (Dijon) ?

I prefer to not speak about it...

About what have you been motivated in Patrice Carteron's project ?

I've been captivated by the club's working methods. I appreciate the type of football the team plays when trying to get hold of the ball. Patrice Carteron managed to find the right words to convince me of joining Dijon.

You should easily integrate yourself in a team with many young players...

I have been well welcomed by all the players and the staff members. It is well appreciated. I have never felt to be outcasted during the training sessions. I am well satisfied by my first days at Dijon. I was able to discover training sessions like I like them, i.e. with a lot of play with the ball.

Which role have Florent Malouda and Didier Drogba played in your coming to Dijon ?

When I told them that Dijon was interested by me, they adviced me to go there. Thus, I have put aside all the other possibilities I had. Quickly, my decision was to go to Dijon. In my mind, there weren't other choices.

Why did you not said yes to bigger clubs ? Rumors were saying Marseille were interested as well... Was it a too much risky choice ?

I didn't consider this possibility as a risk. I don't fear pressure. Marseille already has its starting eleven. I might have been usefull for them for a month, during the ACN, but after that Marseille would have recovered all their players... It would have been more hard to get a good playing time.

Your « big prospect of French football » tag isn't too heavy to handle ?

It doesn't bother me that we are labeling me like that. It doesn't put me any pressure. I would even say it is good to hear. I wish to show that I am worth all those praises. We shouldn't forget the fact I am still 20 years-old, I have still plenty of things to learn. When my time will come, I'll show to the whole world what I am able to.

What are your attributes ?

Let's say I am rather good technically. I have still a lots of things to work on. I'll do everything to be an absolute starter in my new team. These last years, I have lacked of playing time. To recover my genuine level, I have to play on a regular basis to be performing weeks in weeks out. I want to get back the feeling I had when younger. I want to play at the same level of my debuts.

Your loans to Fulham and Bolton didn't work out as you could have wished. On what are you confident about now ?

At Fulham, I have played but seldom as a starter (7 games in PL, one goal). I have improved myself a lot there. It still be a good experience for me. I have improved both in training sessions and off pitch. At Bolton (4 games, 0 goal), it wasn't as good... But I still have learned through watching games with Coyle. I do not consider this loan as a fail. I hope it will work at Dijon. I noticed that here, there weren't differences being made between players.

I apologise if my translation appears to be rough.

Hopefully he can blossom with a good loan spell...he needs it to prove himself.

[Fernando 6,585]

He should stay there for a year, like Josh should stay for a year.

Of course unless, they explode like Sturridge, but Sturridge was a bit older then they are.

The best decision Bruma and Courtois have been doing is stay at their clubs for 2 years. 2 years give you a good time to grow, and you are settle at one place instead of going from here and there.

Thus after 2 seasons, the clubs will have something better to evaluate. Weather for Chelsea to integrate the youth to the first team or sell him to the current team.
