Killian Sardella, who was in the Red Devils preselection, did not hide his disappointment after not being called up by Domenico Tedesco for the matches against Italy and Israel.
The start of the season Killian Sardella put him in the coach’s sights. The few options at the right-back position gave him hope, but it was ultimately Joaquin Seys who was taken on. “Of course, I’m disappointed. I expected to be in the selection,” he admitted honestly after the match against Cercle.
“But these are the coach’s choices. I have nothing to reproach myself for. I have played well in recent weeks and last season too. I continue to work to show that I am the best in my position”, puts Sardella into perspective .
“It doesn’t discourage me at all. I know that I still have to work on certain points. It’s in my nature not to give up. I’ve already experienced worse than this. I play every match at my club, so I don’t I have no reason to panic.”
According to Tedesco, certain U21 players were not selected for the first team so as not to weaken the U21 team against the Czech Republic. “I don’t know. I also see that some important players, especially in attack, were still selected for the first team. But if that’s his explanation, I believe it,” said Killian Sardella;
Is there not a risk that disappointment will push him towards Cameroon, who have also shown interest? “No. I know what I want. It won’t discourage me. These kinds of disappointments don’t get to me. It’s an extra boost of motivation. Mentally, I’m strong enough to overcome this.”
