French team: Maxence Lacroix will pose a huge problem for Didier Deschamps

Selected by Didier Deschamps during the last gathering of the French team last March, where he played against Brazil (1-2), Maxence Lacroix, defender of Crystal Palace, spoke to Téléfoot a few days before the announcement of the list for the 2026 World Cup. Indeed, the coach of the Blues will reveal his list this Thursday during the 8 p.m. TF1.

“I bought this (a World Cup replica), hoping to show you the real one soon. What if I already see myself on the list? Yes of course. I’m planning, it’s normal. If I don’t believe it, no one will believe it. Once we set foot there, we tell ourselves that we are part of this team. In four days, I’ll be in front of the 8 p.m. news and watching this list come down.”blurted Maxence Lacroix.
