The Euro Espoirs is a good showcase for French talents: Kalimuendo, Cherki, Barcola or even Chevalier. But, whatever their journey in Romania, it will not be easy to join the Blues of Deschamps. The new generation is already in place.
Victory and/or recognition. In Romania, the French U-20 team plays big in a competition that has shunned it since 1988. This year, Les Bleuets have everything to put on a great competition. They also started with a 2-1 success against Italy on Thursday. Worn by Rayan Cherki, Bradley Barcola, Castello Lukeba or Arnaud Kalimuendo, they already have a mature team which has nothing to envy to certain A selections. It must be said that the avowed goal of these players is to be in the France under the orders of Didier Deschamps.
The Blues already young, the Blueberries on the floor?
The springboard is known to all and has already been used in the past. However, one thing has changed in 2023: the old veterans have already deserted the French team. Didier Deschamps relied on a young nucleus in Qatar and this jeopardizes the international future of certain hopefuls. On Europe 1, journalist Thierry Bretagne says that the places will be expensive in blue in the coming years and that the current Hopes will have to seriously raise their level to be taken by Deschamps.
⭐️ What hopes will go to the A?

” It’s paradoxical because it’s a superb generation, but they arrive at the foot of a French team which is in the process of rejuvenating itself tremendously. The positions will be taken by guys who are 2-3 years older than them. We hope that they do not wear themselves out waiting for a promotion which will be, with this generational collision, a little later. I love Barcola but he is still a little tender for the French team. We feel all the panache of the player and we want to give him a chance but upstairs there are still a few customers. I like Cherki but sometimes he knits a little too much. I also like Chevalier but we have Maignan. He can only be third guardian “, he developed. What undoubtedly please certain African selections, we think of Algeria for Cherki in particular, who could take advantage of it to more easily seduce these nuggets formed in France.
