Brand new professional at RC Lens, Kembo Diliwidi is currently in Scotland with the France U19 team. He participated in a qualifying round for the European Championship, along with Fodé Syllaloaned by Racing to Yverdon.
The Blues U19 won 7-0 against Liechtenstein for their introduction, this Wednesday evening. The 2 Lensois stood out. Fodé Sylla, holder and captain, scored the 6th goal (78′) on a ball given by Kembo Diliwidi (entered on the hour mark) according to the FFF report. Note that if certain sources awarded the 7th and final goal to Kembo Diliwidi in the 91st minute, UEFA and the FFF included in their match report the name of Tidiam Gomis, therefore the author of a double since he had already marked at 76′. Pape Cabral (17', 36'), Leo Milliner (44') and Weissenhoffer against his side (71') were the other scorers.
A first step towards the Elite Tour
In the other qualifying group match, Wales won 1-0 against Scotland. On Saturday, the Bleuets will face Wales at 8:30 p.m., then Scotland at the same time on November 19. The first 2 will join the Elite Tour which will be played in the spring, the last stage before the final phase in Romania. Coach Jean-Luc Vannuchi comments in comments relayed by the French Football Federation: “ The important thing was to get this competition off to a good start but also to send a message to everyone showing that we didn't come to laugh. We respected this Liechtenstein team as we should, we were demanding from start to finish which allowed us to win by a large margin. Now, we are going to play Wales who beat Scotland, then this Scotland behind, and we must not forget that these two nations were with us at the U17 European Championship in 2023. We know the value of these two nations, it's not a simple and easy first qualifying round, the hardest part is coming, we know it, we have to perform well in three days to beat Wales. In any case, we did the job this evening, with the manner and the content. The group set the bar high today, it is never easy to score seven goals against supposedly inferior teams. We don't know how the tournament can go, these goals scored could be important. »
