"It is a particular moment. A strange feeling, indeed. On the one hand, the competition hands you, on the other hand you forget everything in order to enjoy the moment. It is just magic. Something that every top athlete dreams to live at least one time in his career. For me it is the second time after Athens. I now that I am lucky and I will take advantage of the situation to make photos for my website´s users. This is a premiere for me!"
With this simple words Nikola described us yesterday evening, about midnight in China, the feelings that carries with entering the Olympic Stadium today, at 8 o´clock. And you know it all of you, that this Sunday at 8 o´clock in the morning, French time, les Blues will give their debut, with a first game against Brazil.
"It is clear that they are not the best team in the world, but it is about the Olympic tournament and no matter if we will play the Brazilians or other country, we must be serious and focused. And we will be. A good begining of a tournament is always good for the confidence. All the more we will need it because we will play every other day. We don´t have the time to breathe, the victories will help us to endure the tiredness. "
More than this, now it is official, the French squad counts on the best
player in the world. Is it good for the moral, isn´t it? "Yes, it is obvious that brings me a lot of pleasure. I don´t really realise it because I am not greedy about individual recognition. I give everything to help the team. Sometimes it works well, sometimes less. But it is true that the last seasons were good for us and this title give me extra motivation. And to receive it before the Games it is good for self-confidence, but it is not the case to be too euphoric. The French team and the Olympics are my number 1 target. I want to become an Olympic champion with this group. "
