Morgan Schneiderlin compares the 2014 French team to today's

Regularly started by Didier Deschamps in 2014 and 2015, Morgan Schneiderlin (34 years old) lost playing time in 2016. The Southampton player, at that time, did not play a single minute during the Euro 2016, a competition where the team failed in the final of its home European Championship. The former Manchester United and Nice player compared his 2016 team to today.

“In individual terms, that’s for sure (today’s French team is stronger than that of 2016). The workforce has only increased (in quality) since 2012. The choices are becoming more and more difficult. When I see the best defender in the Premier League, William Saliba, with whom I played (at OGC Nice, in 2021), who is not even a starter… It’s extraordinary. We didn’t have such broad individual talent in 2016”he said during an interview for the site Transfermarkt.
