The last appearance for the selection of the 2018 world champion, aged 33, who went to play at Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia, dates back to June 3, 2022. “I think the preparation matches are important for him because the level of Saudi Arabia and the European level are not at all the same”nuance however Jérôme Alonzo.
Overall, with the arrivals of Ferland Mendy and Bradley Barcola, “I like this list”, reacts the consultant. On the other hand, he has more reservations about Randal Kolo Muani, for whom he emphasizes that “for the current season, this could seem like sporting nonsense”, and Dayot Upamecano, “who hasn’t played for Bayern for three or four months.”
