- Benoit, you have signed a contract with Dynamo, though your agreement with Bordeaux was almost over. Your transfer has benefited our team financially. We appreciate that. It seems that it’s time for you to open new horizons…
- I have won all French trophies with Bordeaux and it was time to leave.
- What are Dynamo aims for the new season? Will you try to win the UPL?
- Of course, we’ll struggle for it and we’ll do our best to play well in Europa League.
- Did you have transfer offers from other teams?
- Dynamo were the only team who really wanted to sign me. Besides Kyivans have a great infrastructure. It is a great club.
- Is your move to Kyiv another chance to be spotted by Didier Deschamps (France national team head coach)?
- To think of the national team I must play wall for my club first. I’ll do my best to achieve this aim.
- What are your reminiscences of Bordeaux?
- I have a lot of reminiscences, like our triumph in Ligue 1 (2009). There also were good games within Coupe de France and Coupe de la Ligue. Last year we faced Crvena Zvezda away and it was a fantastic match!
- What would you like to tell Bordeaux fans?
- I’m very thankful to all of them, including ultras, for their support. The new stage of my career starts and I’m ready for it!
