It is Friday that Zinédine Zidane will unveil his first list as coach. And if everyone is waiting to know who the new faces will be who will arrive in the French team, it will be interesting to see who are the “survivors” of the Didier Deschamps era.
A member of the Blues for several years, Aurélien Tchouaméni is certainly on Zidane’s shelves. But the former Bordeaux and Monegasque player started the season injured, and he has just returned to competition with Real Madrid. Which logically places a question mark next to his name.
Asked about the subject, José Mourinho gave his point of view. “ I don’t know what Zidane has in mind for him, confided the Real coach. We must respect his decision. I also don’t know what is best for him: playing with four players and four others from Castilla, or with the national team. The ideal would be the national team, but with controlled playing time, without accumulating efforts. »
Tchouaméni part-time
We therefore understand that Mourinho and Real will not oppose the selection of Tchouaméni for the Blues. But the “Special One” hopes that his predecessor on the Madrid bench will be able to show wisdom in managing his midfielder’s playing time.
“ I haven’t spoken to Zidane, but he is a man full of common sense. He will do what is best for him, believes Mourinho. May it help the selection without harming the player’s future. I am convinced that Zidane will do things the right way. » The message got through.
