In great shape with Monaco a few weeks before the World Cup, can Disasi see life in Blue?
While Raphaël Varane’s state of health worries three weeks before the World Cup, Axel Disasi continues to score points with AS Monaco. Enough to send a message to Didier Deschamps?
Axel Disasi has never hidden his desire to wear the jersey of the France team. The AS Monaco defender himself made this admission on RMC last September, in the program Rothen ignites. “It’s in a corner of my head, he confided. When we perform, we are immediately called upon to reach fairly high goals, and the France team there is no higher. The kind of performance that I can do at the moment means that I can claim a place. We have to continue in this state of mind and confirm because it is the hardest part.
Already three goals this season
Against Ferencvaros in the Europa League (1-1) on Thursday, Axel Disasi was one of the only Monegasques at the level. A real boss in defense, the 24-year-old turned into a decisive passer for Wissam Ben Yedder on the ASM goal, finding himself a right winger in action. It is not only in the European Cup that the former Reims makes his statistics since he has already scored three times in 19 games in all competitions this season (four assists). Disasi’s good start to the season could be a bright spot for the French team, which finds itself facing a cascade of uncertainties as the departure for Qatar approaches.
In addition to N’Golo Kanté, already forfeited, Paul Pogba, Lucas Hernandez and Raphaël Varane are still waiting. The Manchester United defender will no longer play with his club until the World Cup, an assured Erik ten Hag in the week. “He will be absent until the World Cup, warned the Mancunian technician about the unavailability of his player. Will he be able to play the World Cup? I think. But we have to see how he heals.”
2018 World Champion, Raphael Varane is living his second season with Manchester United. His injury will mark a setback a few weeks before the World Cup, which will begin on November 20 with a first match for the Blues on the 22nd, against Australia. “Since I’ve been here, I’ve never taken a player for a final tournament if he wasn’t fully recovered, warned Didier Deschamps recently, when asked about Paul Pogba’s injury and his potential presence for the competition. The players who will be there will all be ready to play.
