An unexpected bomb by all of his teammates but also the French staff. Relegated a few times to the substitutes’ bench during Euro 2024 and at the start of the year, the emblematic number 7 of the Blues had seen his status take on another dimension in recent months.
A reason which would have pushed him to stop the national selection earlier than expected. For Alexandre Lacazette, the announcement of the current Atletico de Madrid player hides something as the 33-year-old player was important for the France group.
“ Yeah, I find her exit sad. I feel like it’s hiding something, but I don’t know what. Either he will make another bigger outing, later, with real farewells, or he will return to the French team, because he remains an important player in the team, and so we have to see how the team will react without him. But for me, it hides something, if we have to be honest. The outing is not good enough for everything he did in the selection. And for me, if the French team accepts that, that’s also a problem,” he said during an interview with the media Square.
