After struggling at Barcelona as a teenager, the France international also insisted on how he now feels in a completely different headspace overall. " I think that ’s not the reason," he added. " The reason was I was 18 when I went to Barcelona. Now I am 24, I am married, I have two kids.
" My mind is different. I am a national team player. I have to think a little bit more. I'm much more thoughtful about what I do because of the life I want to live. "
