At a press conference this Friday, Bruno Genesio reacted to the non-selection of Lucas Chevalier for the French team.
This Thursday, Didier Deschamps revealed his list of players selected to face Israel and Belgium, on October 10 and 14, in the Nations League. A list in which Lucas Chevalier does not appear, despite having had an excellent start to the season but above all an XXL performance with Losc this week in the Champions League. A choice that provokes a huge reaction.
Didier Deschamps tried to justify the absence of the 22-year-old French goalkeeper. “ A decent match against Real Madrid (1-0)? Correct more yes (laughs). He’s getting closer. He gets closer and closer, confided the coach. Afterwards, the three who are there are used to it and have not lowered their level. I didn’t need Wednesday’s match to know that Lucas has great potential. He’s younger too, so that will come at some point. This places an obligation to remain efficient for the three who are there, and that will not prevent me from being able to open the door to Lucas of course. »
Genesio: “I hope it’s not because he’s in Lille that he’s not called up”
Asked to react to the non-selection of his goalkeeper, Bruno Genesio expressed his astonishment. “ I hope it’s not because he is in Lille that he is not called up. I could perhaps say that if we weren’t playing the Champions League, but that’s no longer the case. When we see the performance he achieved in this competition, which for me is the highest level of football, we can say that today he has an international level”said the Lille coach, before tempering his words somewhat.
“Afterwards, I am not a coachhe added.
There are group concepts to take into account and players have been there for a long time. What is important for Lucas is above all to continue to work as he does, to continue to have the same serenity and to be efficient as he has been since the start of the season, but also since his return loan from Valenciennes. »
