No more Olivier Giroud, no more Antoine Griezmann, and no Kylian Mbappé (for reasons that we all know, or not) during this October gathering. A situation which will force the FFF to find new media executives, at a time when new personalities are also expected to emerge in the locker room. In recent months, the emergence of Warren Zaire-Emery had necessarily been viewed favorably, both at PSG and in the French team. But to this day, and despite a profile that young people can identify with, the aura of the Parisian titi still remains limited on an international scale.
According to The Teamfour Blues then seem to stand out to don this costume. Profiles “starifiable» on which the FFF could in some way rely on its partners. The daily thus cites Bradley Barcola, whose name also coincided with the honors of the French supporters this Saturday in training, proof of the collective affection from which the Parisian benefits today. Provided that his very good performances find an extension at PSG, the 22-year-old winger could tick many boxes. Moreover, the FFF has recorded a growing increase in requests for jerseys bearing its name in recent months.
The Maignan surprise
Behind Barcola, three other profiles appear to be holding the rope. Mike Maignan, through his charisma, his presence, or even his atypical style, also has everything to become this media executive, even if his lack of appetite for media exercises, and in this case press conferences, is not no longer really a secret for anyone. Despite his relatively relative influence on social networks (1.8 million subscribers on Instagram), compared to certain Blues, the AC Milan goalkeeper sells a lot of jerseys, which can be surprising for a goalkeeper, rarely the position most ennobled by the youngest.
Finally, The Team cites the names of Michael Olise and Jules Koundé, also among the most in demand in jersey sales. The first, having recently become international, aroused great enthusiasm which was also reflected on the social networks of the French Team. Concerning the Barcelonan, his atypical personality, his natural painting side, and obviously his performances in Blues, obviously speak for him. A partner brand of the French team also cites the names of Ousmane Dembélé and Aurélien Tchouameni, two players with significant media potential.
