Questioned in Telefoot This Sunday, Deschamps was confident for the future of the young porter. *”Lucas Chevalier has everything to become number one in the French team one day? If I called it, of course. Today is Mike (Maignan). That Lucas (knight) has ambition, this is normal. He came I believe on four rallies, he is not yet international. It will become it at one time or another. I don't worry about Lucas, no, “said the coach. It is therefore a matter of time for knight.
