Present at 4Padel Montreuil during a tournament between celebrities qualifying for the finals of the Betclic Remontada, footballer Adil Rami spoke to Franck Binisti’s microphone.

Like many footballers, the former international defender has been enjoying himself on the padel courts for a while now, and he fully intends to continue!

“When you play padel, you have fun. My strong point is energy, I like to smash. In padel we know that you shouldn't smash 100%, but when I see the ball coming I want to hit it really hard. It's a bit like golf, it makes you want to let off steam. But I have to improve on the trays, vipers, on high balls in general, because when I see the ball coming I don’t want to take it to the side…”

“I'm not a beginner, it's been six months since I started playing. Now we have to continue, take lessons, but I will progress!”
