FOOTBALL – It will be difficult to dethrone him. Having become a strong element of Didier Deschamps’ squad, the right-back of the French team Jules Koundé took advantage of a press conference before the Nations League to confide in his clothing looks that stand out in the French football world.

The Barça player no longer hides his taste in clothing and now causes a sensation each time he arrives at Clairefontaine. During the last gathering of the Blues, before Euro 2024, Jules Koundé had opted for flared jeans and black cowboy-style ankle boots with high heels.
On Monday, he arrived at the French team’s base camp in a black skirt with a chocolate and black tank top streaked with sky-blue and white brushstrokes, with a touch of red.
Facing the press on Tuesday September 3, the 25-year-old player did not escape questions about his status as ” sapper » leader of the Blues. “It’s no secret. I like dressing up, I like fashion, I like clothes and everything that goes with it.”Jules Koundé replied relaxedly.
“I have always liked to dress up and be neat when I leave the house. Even to go do completely mundane things, like buying bread or going shopping.”continued the former Sevillian, who often causes a sensation with his outfits on social networks.
« We will try to catch up with him.”
The opportunity for him to slip in the care he takes with his outfits “participates in the disconnection” that he is looking for. “It’s one of the things I like to do in my free time. Doing research, reading up on it. It’s one of my passions.”
However, he says that this taste for neat and worked outfits is accompanied by a slight spirit of competition with his teammates in the selection. Because if the arrivals of Jules Koundé are now expected like a fashion show of the Fashion Week, he is not the only one to shine in the field of fashion. “Jules started a little strong on this path” clothes, laughed before the Euro Ibrahima Konaté, one of his serious competitors in the field. “Now we’re going to try to catch up with him, to dethrone him little by little.”.
A clothing competition confirmed by Jules Koundé in front of journalists this Tuesday, now aware of being scrutinized each time he leaves his car in Clairefontaine. “Now, it’s a meeting that many people are looking forward to. It’s often talked about, I see it on social networks in particular, even the media are interested in it. It’s cool, it’s also a little competition between us. I like it, I find it healthy. I enjoy doing it, I feel good in my clothes.”.
While heels and skirts have caused a sensation recently, Jules Koundé should be less in the spotlight with boots on his feet for France’s next two matches. Determined to rotate his squad, in which Koundé is now an undisputed starter, Didier Deschamps should logically do without the services of his right-back against Italy and Belgium to try other options, such as new Nice recruit Jonathan Clauss.
