To relive positive emotions in a year, it goes through victories against Lyon and Monaco. We are not dropped and the season is over. still a long time. We also want a title, so we will be fully in the Coupe de France. The locker room is disappointed but not dejected or discouraged.”he assured.

The blue dream
Satisfied with his current level, Veretout is well aware that he can still improve by being more efficient in front of goal and offering more assists. One thing is certain, the Marseillais dreams of competing in the World Cup in Qatar and the packages of Pogba and Kanté give him hope. “Wednesday evening, I will be in front of the TV for the announcement of the list of players selected for the World Cup, he learns. I am going through a good period, I want to go. I have already been champion in the world with the under 20s (in 2013). Going to Qatar would be a dream.”he concluded.
