Didier Deschamps announced his list for the next gathering of the French team. Randal Kolo Muani is one of the players who will be present to challenge Germany (March 23) and Chile (March 26). The PSG striker is going through a complicated period at the club with irregular playing time and low confidence. The coach of the France team returned to Kolo Muani’s playing time at a press conference.
Deschamps slips a message for Enrique
Asked about Kylian Mbappé’s playing time at PSG, Didier Deschamps explained that he was not involved in the management of Luis Enrique, still sending a short message concerning Randal Kolo Muani. “As he (Luis Enrique) said, he was in the same position as me in Spain and he didn’t like people to stick their noses into his affairs so I, in turn, am not going to stick my nose in in his business. He manages what he thinks is best for him, his team and his club. Well, if he can give a little more playing time to Kolo Muani that would suit me a little but oh well (laughs). “
Giroud had experienced a similar situation at Chelsea
The reduced playing time of Randal Kolo Muani was discussed and this will not prevent the PSG striker from being present in the France team as explained by Didier Deschamps. “His situation has already happened to other players. I remember that Olivier Giroud, when he was at Chelsea, it was very complicated so then there is the player potential, the confidence that I can give them because of this. they have done, they may all have more difficult times.”
The former Eintracht Frankfurt player is not the only French international in a complicated situation currently. “This is valid for Kolo (Muani), I take another example, Dayot Upamecano. We cannot say that he is in a very happy period for him, is this the Dayot of today? today or what he was capable of doing before? I take these circumstances into account, obviously that to have confidence the two are linked.”

“You need playing time, it’s not being a starter, that means everything and nothing.”
Randal Kolo Muani’s ability to adapt is also taken into account by Didier Deschamps. “That he can be in the French team because of what he has done with us and what I consider to be the potential he has with this ability to be able to play in all three offensive positions. He can play in the axis but he also has the ability to be able to play on both sides, on the right or on the left and we have already used him like that so we may also have to use him again in this position.
The PSG striker retains the confidence of Didier Deschamps despite this complicated passage and his playing time at club does not eliminate him in the race for Euro 2024.
