According to The Teamthe two players quickly contacted each other to discuss this situation, and to put aside any animosity.
Teammates in the French team since the September 2024 rally and Manu Koné’s first capes, the two men are part of the elements recently added to the group of Didier Deschamps, who announced that he was leaving his post after the 2026 World Cup. During this meeting, Manu Koné’s AS Roma won without trembling (2-0), thus relaunching themselves after a completely failed start to the championship.
