French international from U16 to Espoirs, Odsonne Édouard (27) has not yet been able to taste the joys of the France A team. But the Lens striker has not given up on his dreams of one day joining his ex-teammates, like Christopher Nkunku, Dayot Upamecano or Aurélien Tchouameni. In an interview given to The Teamhe says he still has hope.
“If I wasn't called to A like them, it's because I didn't do enough. I'm not closing any doors on Haiti (which is courting him), but I did all my classes in the French team, so it would be the logical next step for me. I still have hope, I hope that one day it will happen.” His former teammate at Crystal Palace, Jean-Philippe Mateta, waited until he was 28 to make his first selection. The die is not cast.
