We've seen it in recent years; many young players have been able to express themselves, like Hugo Ekitiké or, last season, Folarin Balogun. So, when the club contacted me, I didn't hesitate. I thought I could follow in the footsteps of these young players I just mentioned. It's very important for confidence, but we mustn't get carried away. These are just preparation matches.
