France ignores Madrid with Mbappe, Mendy and Chouameni

Michael Olise, along with Manu Kone, was the big news in the call-up to the French national team announced by Didier Deschamps this Friday, in Clairefontaine, at noon, on the occasion of the two Nations League matches on September 6 against Italy and on the 9th against Belgium. AndThe Bayern newcomer, who joined the Bavarian team in the summer for 60 million euros, was called up to the team for the first time. The French coach, after being one of the biggest sensations at the last Olympics, won silver after losing the final to Spain in Paris.

Except, The French Football Federation has ignored Real Madrid, which, according to RMC Sport, would try to prevent the call-up of Kylian Mbappe, Aurélien Tchouaméni and Ferland Mendy, following the example of Germany, who did not call up Rüdiger so that he could rest during the next international break. The striker, captain of Les Bleus, will lead the world runners-up in their next two games against Italy and Belgium.

Olise had been on Deschamps’ radar for a long time, despite not calling him up for the last Eurocup. The 22-year-old striker has enjoyed a spectacular rise, signing for Bayern Munich in the summer after years of shining in the Premier League with Crystal Palace and earning his first call-up to the senior France team. It is even possible that he will start on September 6 against Italy, the opening day of the Nations League. Manu Kone, like Oliseh, had a fantastic Olympic Games, which earned him his first call-up to Deschamps.
