Why Is Lacazette Not In France Squad? Didier Deschamps’S Selection Decisions Explained

Okay, here’s a revised version of the text, addressing your requests:

Deschamps Explained Lacazette’s Absence

Following the announcement of the France squad, Deschamps confirmed that he was watching Lacazette’s performances closely since his return to Lyon. He acknowledged that Lacazette is a talented player, but with the depth of talent available in the striker position, he was unable to include him in the squad this time.

A Highly Competitive Squad

France boasts a strong group of forwards, including Karim Benzema, Kylian Mbappé, Olivier Giroud, and Randal Kolo Muani. All of these players are performing well at the club level, making it incredibly difficult for any manager to select a squad. While Lacazette has been playing well for Lyon, his current form might not have been enough to warrant a place on this particular squad. It’s also worth noting that the French team is in a transition phase, with many young players emerging. This could explain why Deschamps opted for a more experienced core for this tournament.

Staying Positive

It’s important to remember that not making this squad doesn’t mean Lacazette is out of the running for future international call-ups. He’s still a valuable player for both his club and potentially for France. With continued strong performances, he can certainly push his way back into consideration for future squads. It’s just a matter of time and demonstrating his value on the pitch.
