Captain and vice-captain of the French team at the end of their career together in Bleu (2013-2022), the two men have built a strong relationship over the years. After the announcement of the retirement of the 31-year-old defender, this Wednesday, Lloris spoke in the columns of Parisian. “He is a great man, a gentleman. I have great admiration for the person and for the player. I am both a little sad that it ended this way and especially proud of his journey, his career, the image he conveyed on and off the field: a great leader always focused on the team.argues Hugo Lloris. Above all, he is one of the best players of his generation, one of the best defenders of his generation.”added the record holder for selections under the tricolor jersey (145).

A fan of the football player and a dithyrambic about the human, the former goalkeeper of OL or OGC Nice has no doubts about the future success of his former teammate under the orders of Didier Deschamps.
