Last Monday, Jules Koundé showed up at Clairefontaine, wearing a jacket from the 1992 France team, a football bag and cleats. “The next gathering we promise we will all arrive with tracksuits, crampons on our feet without forgetting the parka if it rains Mr. Larqué”he warned last month, after a new controversy concerning the outfits of the players of the French team when they arrived at the castle.
This was discussed by Jérôme Rothen in the show that bears his name on RMC. The sports consultant had mentioned a
“circus”. For his part, Jean-Michel Larqué deplored that “their first concern before arriving at Clairefontaine is to know how they will disguise themselves.”
Koundé, a lack of respect on the part of Larqué and Rothen?
Having become Jacquemus’ muse, the FC Barcelona player returned to this controversy. “Often, very often in the media, it’s done in a disrespectful way. I think everyone comes as they feel. It’s just a lack of open-mindedness. From time to time it’s good to respond to make your point of view heard. Then you agree or you don’t agree”, he confided in the show The Bridgeaccompanied by Aurélien Tchouaméni.
This Thursday evening, Jules Koundé will probably start by Didier Deschamps for the Blues’ Nations League match against Israel. This would then be his 39th selection under the Rooster jersey.
