Teammates in selection, but rivals in clubs, Manu Koné and Matteo Guendouzi had a heated altercation during the derby between AS Roma and Lazio last Sunday following a very strong tackle by the first on the second. A situation in which the referee had to intervene to separate the two players. But this altercation is now in the past. According to The Teamthe two players quickly contacted each other to discuss this situation, and to put aside any animosity.
Teammates in the French team since the September 2024 rally and Manu Koné’s first capes, the two men are part of the elements recently added to the group of Didier Deschamps, who announced that he was leaving his post after the 2026 World Cup. During this meeting, Manu Koné’s AS Roma won without trembling (2-0), thus relaunching themselves after a completely failed start to the championship.
