Credited with a solid performance Friday evening with the Blues, Jonathan Clauss no longer needs to be debated according to Bixente Lizarazu.
Like Kylian Mbappé, Jonathan Clauss was among the most prominent Blues on Friday evening in Amsterdam, during the French victory over the Netherlands (1-2) – a success synonymous with qualification for Euro 2024 This Sunday, the former full-back Bixente Lizarazu, now a commentator on TF1, dubs the OM player, who enjoys an exceptional profile in the French team.
“ The quality of overflow and crossing of Jonathan Clauss, he demonstrates it in Blue and at OM, it is what we expect from a full backsays the 1998 world champion, praising the latest performances from the man who delivered a decisive pass for Kylian Mbappé two days ago. If we want an attacking right back, Clauss is the best choice for me. »
Deschamps approves
Under the blue tunic, the alternatives in the eyes of Didier Deschamps are called Jules Koundé, Benjamin Pavard or Malo Gusto – Jonathan Clauss, used to the role of piston but more and more comfortable in a configuration with four defenders, being without a draw doubt the most carried forward among these four names. The national coach himself is not mistaken.
“ In line with what he does with his club, he has this technical ability not to be bothered with the ball and to project himself into the offensive phaseblows the Bayonne technician via Téléfoot. It’s something interesting. (…) He was with us before the World Cup but regularly played a supporting role at club. There he is more of a full-back, he knows his subject well with a different profile from those who have played here until now. »
