Didier Deschamps unveiled his list for the two meetings against Croatia in the League of Nations on March 20 and 23. A list with a surprise and first appearance.
Effective for several months with Paris Saint-Germain, the Red and Blue Désiré's offensive midfielder was summoned for the first time in the France A team by Didier Deschamps. The former of Stade Rennais shines under the Parisian tunic where he imposed himself as a precious player in the workforce led by Luis Enrique.
This Thursday at a press conference, Didier Deschamps justified the presence of the 19 -year -old and did not fail to send him many compliments on his game. “Why gifted? For everything he can do good or very well with his club (PSG). He's a very young player, but it's interesting for us. It could have been later, but I did it there. He will not be able to do the Euro Hopes either, because the Club World Cup is priority, so it is good that he can be there. He said at first before journalists.
Before continuing: If I take Désiré (gifted), it is not to say hello and that he is happy. Like the others, I hope he wants to play. Will he have playing time? We will see how it goes, but I consider him like the other players to see him in action. His post? It has its qualities, it should not be compared. He was 19 years old, he progressed a lot. That he continues like that. Afterwards, between side and axis, I am not convinced that he is an axial player. On the sides, yes, in the middle too. It is up to him to confirm everything he has done very well so far. »»
