"I'm feeling better and better. I joined up with France's U21s to regain some confidence and to get as many touches of the ball as possible. Now, I want to keep that momentum up."
"I started focusing on myself again. I didn't give up and kept working, and it was the people around me who gave me that confidence. The coach and my teammates also pushed me to be the best possible version of myself, and that helped."
"At Paris Saint-Germain, we want to play in every competition and to win every competition. That's the aim. To do so, we need to play every game in the same way and with the desire to do as well as possible."
"It's always good when you get people coming back into the squad, especially when they're key players who give us advice, like Ousmane and Marqui. He [Marquinhos] is our captain, and he's just incredible. He talks to us and makes himself heard. That's always a plus, but it's the entire team that makes the difference here. As for Ousmane, we're happy and proud to have him back. We know that he'll do his best to help the team as much as possible."
"Whether it's with me or with the other players, the coach tries to get the best out of everyone. When we're not doing so well, he's there for us to speak to and is open-minded, and it's amazing to have a manager who talks to everyone and who tries to instil as much confidence as possible. When someone gives you that confidence, you just want to repay them by doing your best."
"My role hasn't really changed; I'm still the same person. We're all happy to see these young players rising through the ranks and breaking into the squad. I just try to set an example by doing my best before, during and after each training session, but it's up to them to follow that example. When you're young, though, you tend to watch and analyse other players. It's good to see new academy players joining us; they'll help us."
