Convened for the first time to the French team at 28 years old, Jean-Philippe Mateta could have the opportunity to distinguish himself during matches against Azerbaijan and Iceland. Invited to give advice to the Crystal Palace striker Didier Deschamps responded in his way on Monday at a press conference.
“He must do what he knows how to do with as much naturalness as possible. He is an axial striker with specific characteristics. It's a great moment for him, he will be affected by these two matches. Afterwards, there is competition, absent. Let him come with his enthusiasm, his qualities. He knows most players. He doesn't have to seduce me, that's not how it works. »»
