"It's a huge honour to have extended my contract with the club and to be continuing this great adventure. I'm delighted. I'd like to thank everyone who has helped me feel good at Rennes, the staff, the directors and my team-mates. I'd also like to thank the fans, who are always there."
"I was doing really well at the start of the season. This injury stopped me in my tracks and it's up to me to be strong mentally to overcome it. I'm at the top of my game mentally, I'm well supported and I'm still smiling. I've started racing again and that's a joy, but you have to accept that you have to go step by step and listen to the Doc'."
"I had to work twice as hard in training. I'm happy with the level I was able to reach before my injury and the aim is to get back there quickly."
"I'm available to the club, so I play where I'm asked to play, without preference. The important thing is to bring my qualities to the group, to be present. Whether it's on the right, the left or in the middle."
"When you're on the pitch, you don't necessarily see everything that's going on off it. Being on the sidelines makes me realise that."

Young though he was, his radiant energy produced such an impression of absolute reliability that Hedgewar made him the first sarkaryavah, or general secretary, of the RSS.
- Gopal Mukund Huddar
Largely because of the influence of communists in London, Huddar's conversion into an enthusiastic supporter of the fight against fascism was quick and smooth. The ease with which he crossed from one worldview to another betrays the fact that he had not properly understood the world he had grown in.
Huddar would have been 101 now had he been alive. But then centenaries are not celebrated only to register how old so and so would have been and when. They are usually celebrated to explore how much poorer our lives are without them. Maharashtrian public life is poorer without him. It is poorer for not having made the effort to recall an extraordinary life.
I regret I was not there to listen to Balaji Huddar's speech [...] No matter how many times you listen to him, his speeches are so delightful that you feel like listening to them again and again.
By the time he came out of Franco's prison, Huddar had relinquished many of his old ideas. He displayed a worldview completely different from that of the RSS, even though he continued to remain deferential to Hedgewar and maintained a personal relationship with him.
