We need to get a translator for him I wanna hear him speak without having to struggle with English words.. atleast like one interview where we can actually hear the kid out ya know.. let him just speak naturally so I can get to know him

[@DepressedHornetsFan]

I agree. He is super personable and confident when speaking French

[@lebourse]

Give him some time, he is just 18 years old.

[@anotherelvis]

He looks like a good person.

Listen to his Basketball Champions League interview in French, you get a way better feel for the kid and I LOVE his attitude.
If Shohei can have a translator, we gotta get our guy Tidjane a translator too. He is much more nuanced and authentic when he can be understood!
