Valentin Atangana has somehow just been promoted. Initially asked to spend this international break with the French U20 team, for an internship in Spain and two friendly matches in Marbella against the host country, like Mamadou Diakhon elsewhere, the Stade de Reims midfielder was finally called up for the first time in his young career with the Espoirs.
Aged 19, the Rémois benefits here, in the same way as Sael Kumbedi and Nathan Zézé, from the packages within the first list revealed by the selector of the category, Gérald Baticle. News which rewards his consistent start to the season in Ligue 1 (eleven starts out of eleven possible).
For this gathering he will meet another Marnais, the striker Hugo Ékitiké. The Bleuets will play two preparation matches. The first is scheduled for Friday November 15 in Empoli, against Italy (4:15 p.m.). The second will take place at the Hainaut stadium in Valenciennes, on Tuesday 19 (6:15 p.m.), against Germany.
