Speaking in the Ronny Gill, he basically admitted it was a struggle coming to grips with the English game for him and the rest of the Frenchies, plus adapting to 'different tactics'. An interesting line that.
Maybe a dig, maybe not.
Anyway, he said.
“When I first came to Newcastle, it was definitely complicated coming into an entirely different system.
“I have had to adapt to the English game, which wasn’t easy for me. It’s been a case of me working hard and really grafting in training.
“I’ve had half a season at Newcastle United. I now know how everything works and I can’t wait until next season so we can get stuck in.
“I am sure all the French players who came this year can do well next season.”
“All the French guys had worked under different managers, so we had to come in and each one of us had to buy into the manager’s philosophy.
“Each manager has his own way of doing things, of course, so there were different things we needed to get used to.
“But the manager knows our qualities. He knows what we can give to his team.”
