"I've always believed, and I repeat it today, that the French national team will always be stronger with him. But that hasn’t always been the case. Unfortunately for him, during Euro 2021, he arrived after a very tough six months at PSG, and he didn’t get regular playing time. This time, we only had ten days to prepare for the two friendlies—so there really wasn’t any proper preparation. Then, his injury prevented him from giving his best," Deschamps told Marca.
