Didier Deschamps explained his choice to select Bradley Barcola for Euro 2024.
“He wasn’t there in March, he could have been there. I thought that everything was perhaps coming a little quickly. What he had done was already very interesting. He’s done other things since he confirmed, and it’s not from last night’s game. It was selectable before. Good for him. He has this ability to be able to create differences and score goals. »
On Barcola’s youth, the coach said: “I have already done it with several players, youth is not a selection criterion. Today, we must not take away from the new generation the fact that they want to have everything at a very young age. There is indulgence on our part but they want to be there. The potential is there.”
“Bradley can create differences through dribbling, speed, he will then gain in efficiency. He has this ability to repeat efforts, like Moussa Diaby.
