Three days before the final of the Champions League where may shine his PSG players Lucas Hernandez, Warren Zaïre-Emery, Désiré Doué, Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembélé, the coach of the Blues Didier Deschamps certainly followed the final of the league conference between Real Betis and Chelsea, Wednesday evening in Poland.
Two French internationals were established on the Blues side: the central defender Benoît Badiashile, confined to the bench in the Premier League and holder only in the European Cup in recent months, as well as the right side Malo Gusto, recalled by the tricolor coach for the Final Four of the League of Nations, with a semi-final against Spain, Thursday, June 5 in Stuttgart.
He too relegated outside the starting eleven of the Blues lately, Malo Gusto has nevertheless started the final of the C4 at the expense of Reece James. The old Lyonnais has faulted, probably confused by its hybrid role for the meeting. Enzo MARESCA asked him to defend right, to come to the axis in the offensive phase in order to form the double pivot with Moses Caicedo (Enzo Fernandez that can evolve higher). Marc Cucurella sometimes lucidly fulfills this role of Inverted Fullback.
Deschamps sanctions Clauss
In this axial position to revival, Gusto has shown feverishness, too in a hurry to receive the defenders' ball. Worse than that, one of his forward passes was countered by an Andalusian player and that gave the opening of the Beticos score before the 10th minute of play. Isco then made a great blind pass for Abdessamad Ezzalzouli, who crossed his strike to find the small opposite net and explode the Andalusian supporters (9th).
Deschamps offers Gusto a chance to find the France group at the expense of Jonathan Clauss, who has not deserved with the OGC Nice this season. The coach of the Blues will have two other, more defensive options, as a right side with Benjamin Pavard and Pierre Kalulu to challenge the Roja European champion led by Lamine Yamal. Malo Gusto may not be so reliable at high level.
