Kimpembe's big confidences on a possible return to Blue

Presnel Kimpembe spoke at length for Canal+. In the comeback phase, the 2018 world champion hopes to regain his former level. While he revealed that he had always kept in touch with Didier Deschamps, he spoke about a possible return to Blue, and what he could bring: “They already know it (what I can contribute) because I know them well, the little rascals. More experience. If I manage to set foot in the French team again, I will be one of the oldest and oldest” he confided before returning to the pride he had in wearing the armband for the selection: “I had the chance to wear it twice with the French team, so much the better, and it was a great experience. But the French team's armband is huge and heavy. But, I don't need to have it to say what I think, that's the most important thing.”

Kimpembe could bring his experience!

He later revealed that he still had a lot of contact with current internationals: “Yes, many, many. Kingsley (Coman), Mike (Maignan). I have always had brotherly relationships. They always check on me. I can tell you others but the closest I got are these. It was the logical next step. After Hugo, Mike. I couldn't see another one. Mike, he's a monster, always has been.” he declared before opening up about what we could wish for him: “Just health. That's all I ask. Health and having the chance to play as many matches as possible, feeling good.“

Finally, he spoke about the new French generation: “It's a very beautiful generation, like there are others who will arrive after them and others who will arrive again after. But today's generation is magnificent, incredible. With players like that, we can do incredible things, really. They all play in big clubs, which play the Champions League every year, that means a lot too” he said before concluding on Warren Zaire-Emery: “Warren, he was in U17 and he played with the U19s. I was already watching it then and it caught my eye straight away. Warren is a worker. He has enormous qualities but above all he is ahead of the others because he sees before everyone else. Technically and tactically, he is strong. He is very intelligent and above all, he is humble. He's someone who listens and it's difficult to find one now.“
