For the first gathering of the Blues since the Euro, Didier Deschamps decided to call on two new faces: Michael Olise and Manu Koné, while Wesley Fofana made his return to the group, more than a year after his first and last selection. However, this list does not meet the expectations of Jérôme Rothen, who did not mince his words when discussing the choices of the coach of the Blues. For the former PSG player, DD played it small and should have left out certain elements, like Marcus Thuram or Randal Kolo Muani.Excuse me, I’m not a coach, but you’re two years old. (until the World Cup) to create something different“, Rothen lamented, before taking out the sprayer.
“Look at Clauss at the Euro, he was there to tie other people’s laces and wash shoes… It’s unfortunate for him. And then, Deschamps tells you ‘Clauss, I’ll take him blah blah blah’. But Deschamps doesn’t think twice. He doesn’t want to put his group supposedly ‘in danger’. Malo Gusto, Boey… These are players who play at a high level, why don’t you test them? Knowing that your understudy, you don’t play him anyway. You leave Pavard out without us knowing the reason. But then why are the others who weren’t good there? They have an immunity totem, you don’t give the opportunity to young people… At the Euro, Thuram showed terrible technical shortcomings, and Kolo Muani, it’s the same thing. When he talks about Manu Koné, he talks about ‘athletic power’. Thuram and Kolo Muani: they are strong, they run fast, they jump high, so they are there. But those who have a little more ball, he does not call them. »
