Malo Gusto (20 years old) has established himself as the starter at right-back for Chelsea. Originally expected to be Reece James’ understudy, the former Lyon player took advantage of the Englishman’s injury to establish himself in the London eleven. Enough to change your status in the French team? Called up for selection on Didier Deschamps’ list last October, he was not included on the next one in November. On the eve of the announcement of the next coach’s list, Malo Gusto was interviewed by The Parisian. On the question of his rank in the selection, the 20-year-old defender does not want to put pressure on himself.
“For sure I’ll have an eye on it (on the next list), but it won’t be the end if I’m not called up. If I am, it means that I work well and that I show good things. If I’m not, it’s because I still have to work. It was a source of pride to wear this jersey, especially for a big match against the Netherlands (2-1, October 13). It was a good first even if there were things I should have done better. On certain choices, I perhaps rushed a little into the emotion of the first. These are details that I will have to improve for the next times” he declared to the Ile-de-France media. Didier Deschamps’ list will be revealed this Thursday March 14.
