“I come from a small Alsatian village with a life that revolved around religion. The “king” of the village was the priest.

“I was raised in a restaurant that also served as the football team’s club house and that’s all it talked about. But religion didn’t help to win matches. Much later, I replaced my missal with good players and football became my religion. Gambling must be treated as religion. He alone dictates your choices.”
