"The years pass but they are different and the context is different now. That goes for sporting terms and also, personally, I was free to make a decision, and I know how important that is in France.
"It is the country where I have grown up. I have always lived here, and leaving my country wasn't the right thing.
"There is a sentimental aspect to his. It is my country. The sporting project has changed as well. That made me want to stay because I don't think my story is over yet."
