Head coach of the French football team Didier Deschamps explained to the wife of French President Emmanuel Macron, Brigitte, why the Reims striker Junya Ito will not be able to play for the “tricolors”.
Actu Foot reports that Deschamps and Brigitte Macron met during a visit to the Reims University Hospital. During the conversation, Deschamps told Brigitte Macron that he followed the Reims players, but that they were not represented in the France team. Macron responded that Deschamps should pay attention to Reims striker Ito, who Macron believes deserves to be called up to the national team.
To this proposal, Deschamps replied that he was not calling the player into the France team, since Ito was Japanese.
