As for a few days, Rayan Charki learned his first invitation this Wednesday with the French team on Wednesday in order to prepare the Final Four of the Champions League. “It's nice, it's the beginning of a great adventure, impatient to start, he was delighted with the media of Olympique Lyonnais. Especially since we are going to play two beautiful games, so impatient to bring my stone to the building. »»
Asked at a press conference on this great first, Didier Deschamps revealed that he has been following Rayan Cherki for several months. “It is my responsibility. I had a lot of exchanges with Gérald Batic, faced with certain issues too. Rayan could have been there too in March, compared to what he realizes with his club where he was much more decisive, whether through his goals and passes ”he explained.
But for some, this first summons from Rayan Cherki among the Blues is undoubtedly linked to his message broadcast in private, according to which he would say yes to Algeria, even Italy, for which he is also eligible, in the event of non-selection for the two matches of June. Heresy according to Didier Deschamps.
“Inspectful with regard to the coach”
“I have never prevented a player from choosing or blocking it. When I take them, it is for our needs but not to prevent them from doing something else, Did he hammered in front of the media. Even if a lot can be said. At no time did I play with that since I was a coach. »»
And indignation is even stronger in the entourage of the Lyon player. “It is badly knowing Rayan to think that he could have exerted pressure on anyone or that he was able to use another selection, said one of his loved ones in the columns of The team. It is also disrespectful with regard to the coach whose speech was very clear. Rayan never had the slightest exchange with a coach or the president of another federation. Even if he could have pretended, he did not have the nationality of any other country. »»
