Selected by Didier Deschamps to participate in his second World Cup after that of 2022, Ibrahima Konaté will not arrive in the shoes of a starter. The Saliba – Upamecano hinge seems to be leaving ahead, but the Liverpool defender promises to come with the ambition of earning his place.
“Of course, I want to play every match, I am a competitor, now, I hear what you are saying very well, but we must not forget what happened at the Euro. I was supposed to be a starter, things meant that I didn’t start, so I’m going with a mentality where it’s the coach’s last World Cup. We must be extremely grateful to him, but I am going to prepare as if it were the last competition. We don’t know what can happen, I’m going to come with the right mentality, lots of things can happen.”
