The verdict is approaching: Didier Deschamps will indeed communicate this Sunday on the set of the 8 p.m. news on TF1 the list of 26 Blues for the next World Cup. And two years after recalling N’Golo Kanté and summoning Bradley Barcola for the first time for Euro 2024, the French coach could reserve a new surprise by calling Robin Risser, just named best goalkeeper in Ligue 1.
The name of the third goalkeeper is nevertheless the only real uncertainty even though there is doubt surrounding the presence of Eduardo Camavinga in midfield or the identity of the last attacker (Jean-Philippe Mateta or Randal Kolo Muani). For the rest, the list is known.
Kylian Mbappé will obviously be in the mix and will play his third World Cup. His presence nevertheless upsets some since he made very harsh remarks about the National Rally. This is particularly the case of Geoffrey Lejeune. The far-right journalist thus campaigned for his non-selection on Wednesday on the set of L’Heure des pros.
Kylian Mbappé like Karim Benzema?
“I can say something very shocking: I would like Didier Deschamps not to take Kylian Mbappé in his list for the World Cup. It’s a 100% footballing opinion, he said to Pascal Praud. The teams he starts from play better without him. Then, we have everything we need with Ousmane Dembélé, Bradley Barcola, Désiré Doué, Michael Olise, Rayan Cherki… So, we will have a magnificent World Cup. »
“Moreover, he did something very shocking during the preparation matches in the United States, he continued.
He entered the field by stealing the captain’s armband from N’Golo Kanté, who is a boy who seems absolutely humble, very nice. He was captain and he demanded to take the captain’s armband, which is a bit of a humiliation. And I find this image extremely shocking. »
“ So Didier Deschamps deprived himself of Karim Benzema during the last Euro (sic) and he was right and I would like him to do the same,” he concluded, however failing to convince the rest of the set.
