Jean-Philippe Mateta entered the hearts of the French this summer. Through a successful Olympics, the powerful Crystal Palace striker was one of the providential weapons of the French football team at the Olympic Games. An opportunity for the 27-year-old player to shine in the eyes of Didier Deschamps.
Pre-selected by DD during this September gathering, the former OL player returned to this new situation on Canal+. Asked if he was ready to take over from the legend Olivier Giroud, Mateta gave a confident answer: “To be simply pre-selected? It’s not a disappointment. It makes me want to work even harder to be selected and get even more results. To take over from Giroud? Yes. If I’m given the chance. I’ll try in any case. What he did is strong.”
