French national team player Orlin Tchoameni commented on the involvement of his colleague Edouard Camavinga in the left-back position during training after Lucas Hernandez was injured
“Camavinga’s skills on the left I haven’t seen and that’s why I’m not a coach,” Tchoamene said. The coach discovered his skills to replace Lucas. The group trusts him and we are sure that if he plays tomorrow, he will perform well
When asked about his Real Madrid teammate, Tchoamene said: “I didn’t know he could play left-back, and that’s why I’m not a coach. But our coach believes he can contribute in this place after Lucas’ injury and he certainly can
Tchoameni led France’s midfield throughout the tournament and his performance was very strong. For this reason he was asked whether or not he considered himself one of the leaders of the new generation in France
He said, “I am trying to gain experience, but I only played 16 matches, and there is a new generation coming, but I do not see myself as its leader
The France coach is facing a problem in the left-back position after Lucas Hernandez cut the cruciate ligament during the 4-1 victory over Australia, leaving only his brother Theo Hernandez, the Milan player, in the squad
