Deprived of his best players retained by the clubs, Landry Chauvin, coach of the France U20 team, rather overwhelms Fifa following the elimination of the Bleuets from the group stage of the World Cup.
The France U20 team left the World Cup in the group stages on Sunday despite their victory once morest Honduras (3-1). The young French only missed one goal to advance to the next round following their defeat once morest South Korea (1-2) and Gambia (1-2). An infuriating elimination which mainly finds its origin in the refusal of many professional clubs to release their players while the competition did not enter the Fifa dates (which oblige the clubs to let their internationals go).
“It was enough to postpone the competition for a fortnight”
In an interview at The team, Landry Chauvin, coach of the France U20 team, does not attack the clubs but rather Fifa for the choice of programming. “I lost more energy before the World Cup than during, to try to build a team, underlines the technician. How England manages to have 16 players who were at the Euro last year and we only 10? We are prisoners of the excellent work done by the training centers in France because young people play professionally faster. I do not blame the clubs which are within their rights, but rather FIFA. It was enough to shift the competition for a fortnight and it wouldn’t have bothered anyone.”
“In the 2003 generation alone, we had 15 major absentees, not counting Cherki who only came with us once, he continues. March, we make a last gathering where we play England and the United States and we might only keep seven players.
The coach regrets this premature elimination with an inexperienced team. “On the team we have, we had eleven players within five matches with us, including six with zero selection, he concludes. I thank clubs like Monaco, Reims, Troyes, or Mathieu Bodmer (sporting director du Havre, editor’s note) which freed Antoine Joujou. And then those who had been with us for a long time had not played with their club for a long time. They were lacking in rhythm.
