Manu Koné left his mark on the year 2025 with the French team. Regularly aligned in the midfield, the AS Roma midfielder is one of the players most used by Didier Deschamps since his arrival in September 2024. Asked about this during the Blues’ press briefing this Tuesday, the former Toulouse player was measured, delighted with this feat, but above all determined to continue his momentum.

In a new group and you are new, you must quickly make an impression. You tell me that I’m the most used player, but I don’t necessarily pay attention to thathe indicated. When the coach needs me, if he thinks to put me on the pitch and give me 100% whether I play 10 minutes or 90 minutes, so I think I try to meet expectations on the pitch by my quality and by the way I play quite simply. I’m gaining confidence little by little and I hope it will continue like this “.
