Benoit Trémoulinas: “He gives himself the means, and that’s what makes Jules Koundé strong”

On the L'Equipe channel, Benoit Trémoulinas, spoke about another former Girondins de Bordeaux player, Jules Koundéand in particular its progress.

“He gives himself the means, and that’s what makes Jules Koundé strong. He is a great professional, and after training he wants to continue working. An hour before training he must already be there in the gym, working… I think he's a hard worker. He also knows how to recognize his weak points. We saw that ultimately, as the weeks went by, things got better and better. We see that he still has a better volume of play than a few months ago, he goes back and forth. He has especially progressed in his quality as a center”

And off the field?

“I think he remained himself, he imposed his influence. He also imposed his ideas. He is also not afraid to express himself and when asked a question, such as politics, he will not run away, on the contrary. He's going to face this question and say what he thinks. As it is always well said and well done, people also begin to appreciate the man.”

Finally, can he one day be captain of the French team?

“There are very great full-backs who have been captains. Cafu, Zanetti, Lahm, Evra, Maldini… It's not a problem. I campaigned for him a few weeks ago. Tchouaméni has a somewhat central place in terms of the field. I find that Koundé, with his start to the season, the scale he is gaining at Barcelona, ​​has become a framework, while Tchouaméni is a bit in the rough. I think it would be consistent to make him captain of the French team.”
