Savanier in the France team? Henry doesn’t believe it

Zapping Foot National Top 10 Gambardella Cup winners

He made his big comeback on the pitch this weekend, as part of the 24th day of Ligue 1. After having served three suspension games, Montpellier playing master Téji Savanier was indeed the starter on Saturday afternoon for the LOSC reception. And if he could not prevent the defeat of the MHSC against the Mastiffs (0-1), the Hérault captain once again showed himself to his advantage. To the point of relaunching the debate on his presence during the next list of Didier Deschamps, scheduled for the end of March. A list that will inevitably be scrutinized very closely a few months before the World Cup in Qatar. But will the midfielder be part of the France group to face Côte d’Ivoire in Marseille (25/03) then South Africa in Lille (29/03) in friendlies?

“There are so many players ahead”

“DD has so many options, so many choices, replied Thierry Henry, consultant for Amazon Prime Video. It is the wealth of French football. It will always remain a dream as long as there is the possibility and it is to him to go get that. But there are players in front, also estimated the 1998 world champion. He is a player who is really extraordinary, I like it a lot. He stays in the tempo of the game, he does what there is to do. From time to time, you have to entertain the gallery, we have all done it but he respects the game and it is super important. Under the spell, the former striker of the Blues and Arsenal, however, seems skeptical about the selection of Téji Savanier by Didier Deschamps.
