As ambassador, I’ll try and present the club in the best way possible, in different countries in Europe, the Middle East and Asia.”Abidal will also turn out for the club’s legends team. “Given that I played for the club for quite a few years – I’m not exactly a legend – but it would be a great pleasure to share some moments with other former players from the club and to spread our message, the values that the club has,” he said. “It’s an honour to represent the club.”</blockquote>
