No more debates, site preparation. Now that Didier Deschamps has unveiled the list of 23 players summoned for the Euro, the time is in training for the Blues. Monday, Griezmann, Pogba and their classmates come to Clairefontaine to repeat their ranges. But have they worked hard all season with their clubs? The answer on their report card.
Huge, monstrous, gigantic: nearly superlatives fail to evoke the season Antoine Griezmann . With 31 goals in 52 matches, including against Real, Barca and Bayern striker of Atletico has everything exploded. The star of the Blues is “Grizzi”.
No one knew this little midfield there are two more years. Today, N’Golo Kanté is champion of England with Leicester and selection blue raises no debate. Other “Frenchie” to success: Dimitri Payet . The midfielder from West Ham, shining in the Premier League, has regained his place in the France team, having disappeared from radar for months.
They are the future … and present. Paul Pogba , excellent with Juve despite a difficult start to the season, confirmed his status. But he fell in 8th finals of the Champions League against Bayern in the … Kingsley Coman . The young winger of 19 years (only) wowed the gallery, even managing to play half the season as a starter.
Back in France, with the two survivors of OM. While Marseille ran Lassana Diarra Marseille maintained the middle afloat with the help of the captain and best goalkeeper in Ligue 1 Steve Mandanda. The No.1 Blue, Hugo Lloris , it has achieved great benefits with Tottenham, currently second in the Premier League. Finally, hats off to André-Pierre Gignac . The attacker of the “Tigers” became a mega-star in Mexico, while he convinced Didier Deschamps. The “Dede” are thrown.
A record transfer quickly justified. Anthony Martial was installed as undisputed holder at Manchester United, although the difficult season of his club has not helped. In the same city, but next “Skyblues” Bacary Sagna has made a more than correct season, showing strong in the Champions League. Another defender of the Premier League, Laurent Koscielny was one of the Arsenal players the most solid and consistent throughout the season.
In Italy, Patrice Evra once again spread his knowledge and experience to Juve. A Roma, Lucas Digne has put everyone agrees, even if his performances mixed in Blue tarnish his record. Finally, Blaise Matuidi appeared slightly down compared to last season. Find your “Charo” Blaisou!
Not surprisingly, there are (too) many advocates in this category. First disappointment: Raphaël Varane . Real defender is more often replacing titular and has not progressed this season. Jérémy Mathieu , he also had a difficult year with great rival, Barça. Eliaquim Mangala is also in hard with Manchester City, despite good matches in the Champions League.
On the right side of defense, Christophe Jallet has lived a half season -teinte with OL. In Rennes, Benoît Costil has alternated good and less good. Like Olivier Giroud , author of a good first half of the season with the “Gunners”. But he then completely lost the point of losing his place at Arsenal. Who said Hatem?
Do not shoot the ambulance: when playing in two ways Premier League clubs, difficult to distinguish. But Moussa Sissoko , markedly worse than previous seasons, failed to avoid relegation in Newcastle. “DD” dedicated to him still full trust. The same goes for Yohan Cabaye , despite a lackluster season with Crystal Palace.
