00:00Obviously I'm for Ousmane, because he is French with the season he's going to play.

00:08I know that it should be a bit of fun mediatically.

00:12I'm not going to talk about Ousmane today, because it's the opposite to Ous.

00:19If you choose Ous, it's 100% of course.

00:23Now, if you ask the question of the Spanish, I don't think they'll tell you the same thing.

00:29So, obviously, there's this fan effort, or not.

00:36I don't know, because it's on a whole season.

00:40But obviously Ousmane, with the season he's going to play.

00:44To be honest, I'm not going to ask the question.

00:48I like to see how it's going on the ground.

00:51But it's true that Ousmane, I think it's a genius football.

00:56What he has shown during this season is just exceptional.

01:01And to have a tactic to stop it in 1-1, I think it's complicated.

01:07I think that's why the football is playing at 11.

01:10We can have several ideas to stop it, but then we don't focus only on him.

01:15It's a team with a lot of talent.

01:17So, it's not going to play on the Minyamal.

01:19It's going to play on the team of Spain.

01:21Because everywhere they can be dangerous.

01:23It's going to be dangerous.

01:24It's going to be dangerous.

01:26It's going to be dangerous.
