Louis Bielle-Biarrey Norbert Scanella / PANORAMIC
The UBB winger was, along with Gailleton, the surprise of the list of 42 players selected for the preparation for the World Cup. At 21, the one who had to give up the U20 World Cup should win his first selection on Saturday against Scotland.
Special Envoy to Marcoussis
In what state of mind are you for this preparation?
Louis Bielle-Biarrey: I want to show everything I can do in training to have zero regrets. I dare in the game because the worst thing that could happen to me would be not to try anything and regret it in the end.
Is it hard to make a place for yourself when you’re the youngest, the newest in the group?
Yes and no. The group is really great. The guys really put us at ease, help us a lot, including those who are in the same position, in direct competition with me. I feel good, even if everything is going very fast. I don’t realize everything yet. But everyone tries to integrate us as well as possible with Emilien (Gailleton).

What is your relationship with him?
With Emilien, we have been following each other for a while. We live it very well. We encourage each other a lot, on and off the field. He pulls me up. And if we have the opportunity to share our first selection with Emilien, it will be a nice moment.
This should be the case this Saturday in Edinburgh…
We want to be there against Scotland, of course. But I’m waiting for confirmation on Wednesday evening…
“Playing carefree and showing my speed qualities”
Louis Bielle-Biarrey
Do you feel frustrated at not having played in the recent U 20 World Cup won by Les Bleuets, your teammates a few weeks ago?
For starters, I’m super happy for them. A lot of them are friends… I had a little twinge in my heart the first few days. But I have the chance to participate in the preparation to play the biggest event of my career. Even if I felt a new pinch in my heart not to win this World Cup with my colleagues…

If you had to go to a job interview to convince the coach, what would you say to him?
I’m not comfortable answering that. I am more comfortable in the field (laughter)… I would say playing carefree and showing my speed qualities.
How will you feel when you are first selected?
Much pride. And a lot of desire to enjoy. To have a good game. Lots of excitement. It’s weird just thinking about it… Having the opportunity to be part of the 42 shows that I’ve never been so close. The day of my first selection, an additional level will be crossed.
Everything is going fast for you…
It’s been two or three years that it goes very quickly for me. I get used to it (smile).
So you are ready to make the cut and be one of the 33 players selected to compete in the World Cup on August 21?
If I’m here, it’s because I have a chance. Like all the players who participate in this preparation. It will depend on my performance on the field. It’s up to me to make the best match possible to show myself. To be part of the 33, I necessarily think about it. But it will only depend on me. Of my matches. I mainly focus on what I can do on the pitch. I know everything will flow from that.
