No longer seen in the selection since the 2022 World Cup, Mattéo Guendouzi finds color in the Lazio jersey. His sports director predicted a quick return to the Blues.
Mattéo Guendouzi’s last selection is now more than a year old. Appearing for the last time in the jersey of the France team during the sad setback conceded against Tunisia (0-1), in the group stage of the 2022 World Cup, the one who now plays for Lazio has regained his football and his recent performances allow him to believe in a possible recall under the tricolor colors. Even if the margin still seems a little large, the hope is real and within the Roman club, some are sure that Mattéo Guendouzi will quickly find the Blues.
In comments reported by The Team, Angelo Fabiani was clear on this subject. Lazio’s sporting director even sees Didier Deschamps recalling the midfielder shortly. “ He is a complete player, mentally fresh, who plays with a certain carefreeness. It won’t be long before he returns to the selection. » For the manager, the former Lorient player has what it takes to return to the France group. “ He has such ease in covering the ground, but also quality in ball circulation, in addition to being a box-to-box player. »
The Euro after the World Cup?
A few months before the start of Euro 2024 which will be held from June 14 to July 14 in Germany, Mattéo Guendouzi is still clinging to his dream of playing in a second consecutive major competition with the A of the France team. In a particularly dense sector, where there is no shortage of solutions, he will still have to fight to try to once again convince Didier Deschamps to use his services. A goal still far from being achieved but not out of reach. AND Angelo Fabiani concluded: “ He has plenty of energy, when he is in good physical and mental condition, he guarantees quantity and quality. »
