Looking for new solutions in the attacking midfield position, Didier Deschamps will be able to count on Maghnes Akliouche, who dreams of joining the Blues.
There is nothing better to plead his case. Maghnes Akliouche was one of the most prominent players on Thursday night during AS Monaco’s victory against FC Barcelona in the Champions League. A goalscorer, the young attacking midfielder had a great match, under the eyes of a certain Didier Deschamps.
“Yes, I did the right thing, said Akliouche, about his performance in front of the coach of the Blues. You can always do better, but I was able to contribute to the team and do some good things. I still have to review on video what we can do better. But I’m happy with myself.”
Akliouche prefers the Blues to Algeria
A creative midfielder, that’s the kind of profile that is not the most represented in Didier Deschamps’ lists. In this register, the coach relies on Antoine Griezmann. But we have seen that other options were explored, with the recent call-ups of Michael Olise and Manu Koné.
These two players signed this summer for big European clubs, Bayern and Roma, and that means a lot to the coach. For Akliouche, he will therefore have to show himself in the Champions League, in addition to being regular in Ligue 1, to make himself even more visible on Didier Deschamps’ radar.
The other information to take into account is that, according to L’Equipe, Akliouche sees his future with the Blues. The French international hopeful, born to Algerian parents, has been approached by the Greens. But he has no intention of changing selection. And that is undoubtedly very good news for Didier Deschamps.
