We know the names of the 23 players selected for the French team to challenge Germany on March 23 in Lyon and Chile on March 26 in Marseille. A list without any big surprises with players used to appearing in the France group.
How often since the World Cup in Qatar, Randal Kolo Muani is among the 7 attackers called up.
Not in his best form since the start of the season, Randal Kolo Muani nevertheless undermines the confidence of his coach who believes in him despite his period of doubt.
At a press conference this Thursday, the national coach did not hesitate to tease Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique about the French striker’s playing time in recent weeks.
“The rhythm, for Kylian Mbappé, there are no worries. Luis Enrique does the management he thinks is best. If he can give Randal Kolo Muani a little more playing time, that would suit me a little, but hey! (laugh) ” Words that should not go unnoticed.
Randal Kolo Muani starting this Sunday?
Times are tough for Randal Kolo Muani. The former Eintracht Frankfurt player has been relegated to the substitutes’ bench for several weeks. Worse, he seems to be the last offensive player in the hierarchy currently behind Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé, Bradley Barcola and Gonçalo Ramos.
Bought for the sum of 90 million euros, the Frenchman found the goal nine times. Which makes him the team’s second top scorer behind Kylian Mbappé, tied with Gonçalo Ramos. The former Nantes player also established himself as the third most decisive player for the Rouge et Bleu (9 goals and 3 assists in all competitions).
However, in the game he encounters difficulties. On the pitch he has difficulty making differences in all positions. Whether in the 1 against 1 or in his sequences, the best face of Kolo Muani struggles to arrive. Let’s hope that he will get back on track in the coming days before the arrival of the crucial matches but also of Euro 2024.
Not used by Luis Enrique this Wednesday evening in the Coupe de France, he could nevertheless start the match this Sunday against Montpellier in Ligue 1.
