This is the surprise of this second international rally of the season: Didier Deschamps Convened Florian Thauvin for the next two games of the French team in his qualifying campaign for the 2026 World Cup, against Azerbaijan on Friday, then Iceland on Monday. The Lensois fills the package of Bradley Barcola.
After relaunched to Udinese, the left -hander had made a strong choice by signing at the Racing Club of Lens to gain visibility in the landscape of French football.
Florian Thauvin has regained his influence.
A decision that bears fruit. Influent and decisive, the former winger of Olympique de Marseille emerges as the X factor of an amazing Lensoise team, under the tutelage of Sage Stone. Rewarded for his performances, Florian Thauvin is not unanimous, however.
“What I hear you about Thauvin is lunar”
Called to express themselves on the subject, Walid Achechour did not go by four paths. “Does he have a chance to go to the World Cup in my opinion?” No. What I hear about the subject is lunar. It's exceptional. In two minutes, I am going to tell me that he leaves for the World Cup… ”.
“If you ask me if Thauvin deserves his summons to the French team, it's a big no !, continued Achechour. Just three good games to go to the Blues? There, if I am for example Corentin Tolisso, I do not sleep at night, I jump out of the window. He has been carrying Lyon for a year, the selection midfielder has already been decimated, he was never called, and when we ask Didier Deschamps, he tells us that you have to turn to youth. So for Thauvin, why is he going to look for the hopes, a Bakwa dilane for example? He made a better start to the season than Thauvin, largely ”concluded our colleague in After Foot.
