Expected at a press conference on Sunday afternoon in Brussels, Aurélien Tchouaméni will be, barring a physical problem, captain of the Blues on Monday evening.
« If he’s okay (he was spared on Saturday during training at Clairefontaine) and if he plays, he will be captain. » Didier Deschamps did not beat around the bush on Sunday morning at the Téléfoot microphone, when discussing the captaincy of the France team. As a reminder, without Kylian Mbappé, holder of the position and present at this gathering, and without Antoine Griezmann, newly retired, the balance of the locker room was rethought in October. Last Wednesday, the coach chose Aurélien Tchouaméni to face Israel (1-4), rather than Mike Maignan, or even Jules Koundé and Ibrahima Konaté.
Bis repeated this Monday against Belgium, during the 4e Nations League day? It’s very likely. The Real Madrid midfielder, aged 24 and 132e captain of the history of the Blues in Budapest, is expected again at a press conference in Brussels at around 5 p.m. Aurélien Tchouaméni should once again start in a three-unit midfield, accompanied by Manu Koné and Mattéo Guendouzi.
