Called to the French team, Guendouzi Kira had a dream

Paris - Matteo Guendouzi does not believe he was called up to the French national team. The young midfielder even thought of dreaming when the news came.

Guendouzi is actually still a member of the France Under-21 team who played in an international match earlier this month. But Paul Pogba's injury has changed the wealth of the 20-year-old.

Coach Didier Deschamps suddenly called Guendouzi to be part of the Bleus team that appeared in the 2020 European Cup qualifiers. This news was of course not transmitted directly to Guendouzi but by the coach of the national team under 21, Sylvain Ripoli.

"Actually, I was taking a nap and someone knocked on my door, I didn't answer because I was really asleep." Then my phone rang and it turned out that the coach was calling. He said "I knocked on the door" and so on. Of course, I immediately got up and opened the door! "Guendouzi said in the subway.

"Then he said," Yesterday Matteo, we had to talk. "Then he said," I really love you but you have to go, "he continued.

The summons then surprised Guendouzi to death, because he had not expected it before. In addition, France has a series of challenging environments that have extraordinary qualities.

But, thanks to last year's appearance at Arsenal, especially at the start of the season, Guendouzi also made Deschamps fall in love. The former Lorient player immediately became Unai Emery's first choice with a total of 52 appearances and one goal.

Finally, Guendouzi played at the level below 21 with nine choices.

"Does that mean I have to go, what do you mean?" "At first, I seemed to not believe, even though I slept 10 minutes ago, I thought I was dreaming," he said.
