French team: A big surprise in Zidane’s next list?

While he summoned several newcomers to his first list in September, Zinédine Zidane could be tempted by another surprise for the next meetings of the France team.

Estéban Lepaul, Andy Diouf, Lucas Da Cunha, Guillaume Restes… The least we can say is that Zinédine Zidane did not hesitate to give a chance to players who were not necessarily on Didier Deschamps’ radars. And nothing says that other new developments are not to be expected for the next gatherings.

In attack, places are expensive with Kylian Mbappé, Michael Olise, Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué. But if Rennais Estéban Lepaul had his chance, why would Brestois Ludovic Ajorque deprive himself of believing in it? The former Strasbourg resident is older (32 years old). But he has a particular profile, with his size and his technique, which we saw at work again this weekend in Ligue 1.

“I will campaign to have Ludo Ajorque in the French team”

During the Brest festival against Angers (5-1), Ajorque put in a great match, with his usual qualities. First a headed goal, from a cross from Hugo Magnetti (9th), then a superb assist, with a “Madjer” for Pathé Mboup (54th), after a very nice collective movement. From Ajorque in the text.

“I heard that the coach wanted to have a boy with presence in the box. If he was in front of his TV, I will campaign to have Ludo Ajorque in the French team”, dared Julien Lachuer, the Bretion coach, on Ligue 1+.

“In any case, he deserves it, pleads the successor of Eric Roy. You have to have ambition, and not just play for Brest, or in Ligue 1. (…) Every time, Ludo gives everything. The coach has top players in France among the attackers. In any case, we are happy to have it. »
