“If you stay stable and you don’t insult anyone, any religion… I think you can do whatever you want. I don’t swear, I don’t insult anyone. I just try to help my team, that’s all. I always respect the players. I just want to win the game. I don’t cross a line, I never do.”declared “Dibu”, in the columns of the English media. A speech of appeasement for the 31-year-old goalkeeper, who nevertheless loves to be at the heart of controversies. Enough to calm the French supporters? Nothing is less certain… In any case, he can congratulate himself on winning titles by being decisive (Copa America, World Cup).
