Kylian Mbappe is someone I look up to. I have always watched him, especially at the World Cup in 2022.

I think they would describe me as funny. I’m a very funny guy, in my opinion! I hope they would also say I am helpful.

Players like Ronaldo, Ronaldinho when I was younger. Now there is Mbappe. These are the examples we have. It’s an honour to play in tournament like this, like some of them have.

I enjoy just spending time with my family, with colleagues and friends. I don’t really have much free time, but when I do I like to do that. I also enjoy swimming.

I would say LeBron James. I watch basketball a lot and I think he’s a great example. I like his personality a lot too.

It would have to be Lil Baby.

I love pasta.

It would have to be flying!

It means so much. It’s a dream come true for me.
