It has been one of the main unknowns of the France team for several years. Present at a press briefing this Sunday, on the sidelines of the qualifying match for Euro 2024 between the Blues and Greece tomorrow (8:45 p.m.), Didier Deschamps spoke about the position of right side. Invited to give a hierarchy between the two contenders for the position, Benjamin Pavard and Jules Koundé, the coach of the Blues kicked into touch.
“Pavard or Koundé? I made this decision (put Koundé on the right at the Mondial) at this time, because Pavard was not in a good mood. Since then, he has gotten back into the race. Both have a different profilehe commented. The hierarchy, it is especially for a tournament, but otherwise there, it is never sure that the player who starts makes the matches which follow. They are not training full-backs, but there are fewer and fewer of them. They have that versatility.”
