World Cup player reflects on selection doubts and recovery
1 min Machine translated Sports
I'm happy to be here, because if you see how my season went, normally I should never have been here at the World Cup.
So for me, being here, playing, helping my team, being decisive in a match, it's great.
For me, it was just being here, the fact of being here, that was the thing, because until the end of April, there were still doubts.
As to whether I would be selected or not.
I had a conversation with the coach, which remains private, I told him that if I managed to get in shape, I think I can do it.
He was there for a few sessions I had in early May, where he saw that I was training in Brussels.
He came to watch. I knew what my role was.
Being here, for me, is already a blessing.
I'm happy.

Original transcript (French)
Je suis content d'être là, parce que si vous voyez comment ma saison a été, normalement jamais j'aurais dû être ici au Mondial.
Donc pour moi, être là, jouer, aider mon équipe, être décisif dans un match, c'est top.
Pour moi, c'était juste être là, le fait d'être là, ça c'était le truc, parce que jusqu'à fin avril, il y avait encore des doutes.
Pour savoir si j'allais être en sélection ou pas.
J'ai eu une conversation avec le coach, qui reste privé, je lui ai dit que si j'arrivais à me mettre en forme, je pense que je peux le faire.
Il a été là pendant quelques séances que j'ai eues, début mai, où il a vu que je m'entraînais à Bruxelles.
Il est venu voir. Je savais c'était quoi mon rôle.
Être là, pour moi, c'est déjà une bénédiction.
Je suis content.
