00:00It's special because we don't expect that in a career.
00:04The way I approach this trip is my way of giving back to the French public,
00:10of trying to please people who will never have the opportunity to go to the United States.
00:15So it's really important for me.
00:18We've only arrived a few hours ago, but it's already incredible.
00:22Congratulations.
00:23It was even a bit surrealistic to qualify in this room where I've spent so much time.
00:29It's a bit like two worlds coming together.
00:35It's a pride, but also a responsibility,
00:39both in terms of sport and community.
00:43Because the image of the players and the community has always been there.
00:47But the main thing is that it's still the sport.
00:50I've seen it before.
00:52There are some less healthy mentorships, but that's not the case at all.
00:58It's very natural.
00:59Nothing is forced.
01:00You can qualify as a mentor.
01:02I've found that it's not in everything,
01:05but I think especially in the knowledge of myself, of my teammates.
01:11I think we've made a lot of progress thanks to Alesson and Chris,
01:16who helped us a lot too.
01:18We're getting closer and closer to the recipe, so to speak, to progress.
