How did you feel at PFB since your arrival?

“I feel good since my arrival. The club corresponds to what I expected when I signed here, that is, ambitious with a project to climb to National 1, but also very family friendly. We feel very good there. »

How much progress do you think you’ve made this year and what else would you like to work on?

What are your individual and team goals for this end of the season, especially in the league?

“Actually I don’t have any individual goals, I just try to make the team win and stay healthy, avoid injuries. From a collective point of view, even if the first 2 places seem impossible, now we will play all the games thoroughly. We will try to satisfy our fans and partners who support us they come to watch Justy and win more away games than in the first part of the season.”
