"I thank Regis Molouba who believe in myself. Thanks to Cyril Dolce, Armand Garrido, and Bruno Genesio for helping to penetrate the main team. Thanks to Remi Garde who gave me the first opportunity to play in the senior team. These people have helped me throughout my career at Olympique. "

"Thanks also to Jean-Michel Aulas, who believed in me and always encouraged me to go forward. Thanks to all who helped me to be successful, coaches, staff, and administrators. I thank all the players who've worked with me in Lyon, with them I share a pleasure in working hard and win. Also to my agent, CARRE 5, which is always there for me. "

"I will never forget the fans and their support at the Lyon (Stade de) Gerland, and also off the pitch."

"Finally, thanks to my mother, who is my main supporter. Because he himself I learned to be a professional football player. Now, it's time for me to go through all you've given me. "
