Ntim revealed he struggled with the language and was not really interested in playing in France, but Waris played a vital role in accommodating him and taking him as a brother.
Waris- who now plays for Strasbourg- was senior to Ntim during their academy days at the Right to Dream Academy.
"I went there of course because I wanted to succeed and I would also like to thank Abdul Majeed Waris because he welcomed me at his home. I lived with him for 6 months, he took care of me. He's a good guy," Ntim told beIN Sports.
"Well, on the other hand, it was not he who taught me French (laughs). When we were in Ligue 1, I saw him on the pitch tackling in all directions. I saw the referee talking to him
"After the match, I asked him, " Do you understand what he is saying? "
"No, I don't understand anything, I just move my head and when the referee asks me something, I say yes ". What did I laugh when he told me that!."
Emmanuel Ntim is had a good season with Ligue II club Valenciennes and has attracted interest from top tier sides Bordeaux and Montepellier.
