After having long demanded him in the French team, the observers were heard by Didier Deschamps who confirmed once again last Thursday that Bradley Barcola would be among the players called up for the gathering of the Blues, as part of the Nations League. To face Italy and Belgium, the Paris Saint-Germain player could even play a starting role. He will have to seize his chance, even if it means settling in permanently in the event of repeated good performances. Otherwise, he could quickly fall back in the hierarchy.
This is essentially what Sébastien Tarrago explained on Monday evening, when discussing the possible promotion that Barcola could obtain from his coach. For the journalist from the channel The Teamif the former Lyonnais is not yet ” indisputable, it must still be installed “at the Blues” because he is in great shape, that at the Euro (2024) he should have played more, because he is a starter at PSG “For the observer, the other major reason to count on Bradley Barcola is explained by the offensive difficulties encountered in recent months by the French team.
“If it’s not good…”
However, the journalist remained clear-headed about the situation, about Barcola’s youth and about the fact that nothing was yet certain for him. If he is not good, he will return like the others to the bench, he will not be recalled, it does not matter. “And to conclude on a more positive note: ” In any case, it must be installed. It must be tried. “One thing seems certain at the moment, Bradley Barcola has a maximum of assets up his sleeve to succeed in imposing himself with the Blues. After a Euro where he will have ultimately played very little, but which will have allowed him to discover the very high international level, he has made a thunderous start to the season with his team PSG, he who is currently second best scorer in the championship with four goals in three matches.
A real offensive plus for the Blues if he manages to continue his momentum. He will therefore have the opportunity to confirm all this on Friday evening against Italy (8:45 p.m.), in a stadium that he knows well since this first Nations League match will be played at the Parc des Princes. Three days later, he may still be present from the kick-off of the match against Belgium, on the Lyon side. Again in a stadium that is not unfamiliar to him.
