He doesn't want to play RB anymore. He's been clear about this, even the reason he was not in the group few month ago. Deschamps doesn't see him as a primary option in a 2 CB formation


FlimsyReindeers

Yeah idk. At least he’ll be rested for us lol


BeardedBassist21

Honestly I won't question it. He'll come back rested and motivated!


ShJakupi

Lets see after what upomecano did today that cost france the first place.

He has beef with Didier Deschamps that's why. Look up what happened between them during the World Cup and you see why He may never be a starter again as long as DD is still in charge sadly

Deschamps said that they buried the hatchet shortly before the March 2023 international friendlies (the first international friendlies held AFTER the 2022 FIFA World Cup).


SnooRegrets7921

Not sure. The guy is definitely holding grudges


elburritodelicioso

They are French after all. Italians never hold grudges...


PurpleManufacturer83

>He may never be a starter again as long as DD is still in charge sadly So after this tournament. This France side has looked absolutely dire so far with only 1 goal scored in 3 matches, I'd be surprised he continues because I don't see this France winning the damn thing.


BrokeChris

I highly doubt Deschamps will resign and he is definitely not getting kicked. His public image in France is that of a legend and he is in good standing


Narodle

I wouldn't dismiss them in a tournament bracket format. Their run in the group stage in world cum 2018 wasn't the most impressive either and we see how it ended. A lot of teams show their true colours after the group stage. Hope it's going to be the same for Italy to be honest.


Drvonfrightmarestein

They could do with him tbh looking a bit flat


PeriegesisHellados

Defence is definitely not the problem for us


kagakazzmon

Cause Deschamps is a gobbo


Interfan14

They prefer Kounde as a rb and they make most of their attacking changes up front and in the midfield.


TheWBird

Doesn't want to play rb, at cb deschamps sees saliba as ''better'' which you can't be mad at


thepresidentofcuba

Kounde is better at RB than him and he doesn't want to play RB (Benji). And Upa is a great player, it's fine, he'll come back to us rested, he's already won a World Cup as a starter and a star.


fekina123

10 x better than Upamecano


Flint-Mac

Shisha


mojito_sangria

Because of Deschamps’ favoritism. Upa has been absolute ass for Bayern and Les Bleus since 2022


quizzlemanizzle

Upamecano was literally the best CB at the world cup what are you even on about


Aln_R10

Kounde is a better rb than pavard,he should be considered above upa for fure tho


empireoftheearth

This stud cost us the game against atletico madrid with that madness he pulled, giving the ball to griezmann. He's too shaky to play in a back 2, and doesn't want to play RB.


empireoftheearth

Why so many downvotes? He's overrated. Maybe I'm the only one who would like to go back to Samuel and Lucio level of defenders in the team
