KM7 does not want to force things
This would be a hard blow for the Parisian number 7 who dreams of being part of the French Olympic team. However, several weeks ago, during his report on Envoyé Spécial on France 2, he announced that he was not going to force things regarding the 2024 Olympics.
“I have always had the “Olympic flame”. Along with the World Cup, the Olympic Games are the most important sporting event. Plus in Paris… It means so much to me. To tell myself that I’m going to participate in the Olympics with France, it’s an extraordinary opportunity. It’s even a dream rather than an opportunity. Already, I’m going to try to go to the Olympic Games. It doesn’t depend on me though. »
Before continuing: “ I’ve said it before, I’ve reached an age where I no longer want to force things. Everyone knows that I want to play in the Olympics but if my club doesn’t want to, I will understand that. I have the maturity to understand both sides. But if I go there, I will be very happy. »
