One week before the announcement of Deschamps’ list for the World Cup, Estéban Lepaul was unable to dodge a question about the Blues during his press conference. This Thursday, the Rennes striker, who tops the ranking of top scorers in Ligue 1 (19 goals), was questioned about his chances of being called up for the World Cup. He affirmed his ambitions, without making them an obsession.
“ It’s always the Holy Grail to join the French team. Now there are choices that will be made. I’m not focused on that, quite honestly. Above all, I want to finish my season well. If I have to be called, so much the better. Otherwise, as I have always done, we will continue to work every day to try to get there. It remains a dream and the ultimate dream. But if I am not called, there will be no disillusionment, I will continue to work and we will see “, he declared in comments reported by The Team.
