Zapping Onze Mondial EXCLUSIVE: the “Little Brother” interview with Randal Kolo Muani!
The serious injury to Lucas Hernandez represented a big blow for Didier Deschamps, who lost one of his captains but also a real certainty to play in the left lane and also in the axis. With his brother Théo, they were the guarantees for the left-back position. For this Euro 2024, Didier Deschamps therefore had to decide whether to replace one of the two brothers.
Mendy reportedly called up with Lucas Hernandez
And it’s no surprise Ferland Mendy, author of a very good season with Real Madrid, who was called up to Blue. After the announcement of his list, Didier Deschamps explained his choice. By making a little unexpected confidence. “I’ll tell you right now. If Lucas Hernandez had been there, Ferland Mendy would have been there. You can believe me or not. I consider Lucas to be more of a central defender than a full back. That would have led to other choices. It’s not a question of whether I like it or not, as I’ve heard. I take players when I think it is for the good of the France team. From what he achieved with Real Madrid, he evolved in his game which was mainly focused offensively. With Bellingham, Vinicius, he projects much less but has gained in defensive quality which was not his strong point. But he is also capable of projecting himself. He is in his place because of what he achieves with his club. »
