Maybe my play style gives the impression that things slow down. But when I am on the pitch, I do not know if things are slowing down. It is muscle memory. I play mostly through instinct.
Before, I always played in white shoes, then I tried them in the Cup. I liked it, so I kept going. (Laughs)
I have family near Toulouse, and as a child, I used to visit them during the holidays. I watched a lot of French football, PSG, but also any matches I could find. And I loved watching videos of Zidane.
Both at the chess board and on the pitch, I’m a player who likes to attack, who attacks opponents and puts them under pressure. Unfortunately, I’m sometimes too fixated on attack in chess and forget that I also have to think about defence.

It was more relief when I scored my first goal, to be honest. I played a lot of games last season, but didn’t score at all so it was nice to get that first goal this season and it was a bit of a weight off my shoulders really.
