Since his return to Ligue 1 in 2021 under the colors of Nice after several more or less fruitful experiences in prestigious European clubs, Jean-Clair Todibo has everyone in agreement. Captain of the Riviera rearguard, the 23-year-old defender is being scrutinized by many European clubs and is starting to find a good place in the French team in the mind of Didier Deschamps. While he had honored his first selection with the Blues against Germany in September (2-1), the former Barça should experience his second this Saturday against Gibraltar.
In the meantime, the native of Cayenne gave an interview to Canal+. The opportunity for the Aiglon to look back on the players who inspired him or continue to inspire him: “What I prefer is to defend. I like one on one. That’s how I grew up. My inspirations? When I was young, I was a midfielder. I took a lot of inspiration from Pirlo and Rabiot. Now I watch Van Dijk a lot. I really like his aura and his quality when he comes out of the ball.» This is good, he is now playing alongside the former Parisian with the Blues.
