He was very decisive in the second half of the season in particular and he had a very, very good start to the season too.“But he does not avoid the fact that it will be difficult for him to wear the Blues shirt in a match, at least in the near future.”It may be a little more difficult on this rally even if you never knowevokes Mickaël Landreau. But he’s a nice, pleasant person and it’s important to be number three in the French team.“And the former player of Paris, Lille and Bastia knows a lot about this very special role in the hierarchy of porters that he occupied for several years.
