Nzonzi : « j’arrive à un moment de ma carrière où j’avais envie de découvrir une nouvelle expérience »

Ancien membre de l’Equipe de France et passé par le FC Séville ou encore le Stade Rennais, Steven Nzonzi fait aujourd’hui les beaux jours du club qatari d’Al-Rayyan.

Dans les colonnes de ‘Ouest-France’, le milieu de terrain de 33 ans est revenu sur ce choix de quitter l’Europe pour tenter sa chance au Qatar. “J’arrive à un moment de ma carrière où j’avais envie de découvrir une nouvelle expérience. J’avance dans l’âge, et même si je me sens encore bien physiquement, on sort d’une période difficile avec le Covid, qui a réduit les opportunités. Laurent Blanc a joué un rôle important dans ma venue. C’est lui qui me contacte au départ et me veut vraiment. Je suis bien physiquement et je ne suis pas venu ici pour passer des vacances. Ce n’est pas dans ma mentalité. Je me donne toujours à fond et je suis d’ailleurs de plus en plus professionnel dans mon approche des choses. Je reste un compétiteur. Peu importe l’endroit, il n’y a jamais de championnat facile.” A déclaré celui qui a porté le maillot bleu à 20 reprises depuis le début de sa carrière.
