this Ligue 1 goalkeeper who wants to make Deschamps doubt

   Published Date: January 29, 2023

With the international retirements of Steve Mandanda and Hugo Lloris, the France team will experience a major revolution in the hierarchy of goalkeepers in the months or years to come.

While Mike Maignan should logically become number 1 at first in the France team, several goalkeepers today seem able to integrate the Blues, even to sow doubt in the mind of Didier Deschamps. The AC Milan goalkeeper is warned, the competition intends to prove its worth in the image of Illan Meslier and Brice Samba.

A legitimate and assumed ambition

Like the Leeds goalkeeper, the RC Lens goalkeeper has chosen to clearly display his ambitions. Hero of Nottingham Forest’s rise to the Premier League last season, Brice Samba has taken a new step by signing with the Sang et Or and this return to Ligue 1 allows him to be more exposed to the media. “It is true that two monuments have stopped. Being at the top level for so long is really not easy, so congratulations! They are artists for me. I arrived very young here in France, I knew everything. Les Bleus is a dream. If one day the chance to be there, I would give 10000% to be able to represent this country”said Samba in an interview with Telefoot broadcast this Sunday.

His goals with Lens

Second in Ligue 1 behind PSG, RC Lens can have big ambitions this season according to Samba. “It’s really a really great group of guys. Honestly, I’ve rarely experienced this. We don’t worry, we don’t worry at all (…) It’s wonderful, because… we know very well that when we are at 100%, with our game quite oiled, we can hurt to many teams”underlined the lensois goalkeeper before expressing his desire to play a European Cup. “Of course it’s a goal. By its past, by its experience, this club deserves titles, this club deserves to play in Europe every season and we are going to give ourselves, in any case, the means to be there next season”he concluded.
