The brotherhood of the goalkeepers is not a myth. Becoming number 2 for the French team in this gathering due to Lucas Chevalier’s lack of playing time at PSG, Brice Samba took advantage of it and got his third call-up against Colombia. Not forgetting to mention a word for his competitor, the only player on the list who didn’t play a single minute. “In football, the goalkeeper position is very difficult,” emphasized the Rennes goalkeeper in the mixed zone after the match. “There are periods that are a bit better, others a bit worse. We support Lucas, we are behind him. We all know his qualities.”
Everyone behind Maignan
It’s not certain that this will be enough to bring a smile back to the former Lille player, even though the two men are expected to mainly warm the bench together this summer during the World Cup. “Currently, I am the number 2, I will be at Mike’s (Maignan) service to make it the best possible,” Samba continued. “If they call on me, I will try to respond as I have been able to do.”
When was the last time you said, “You know, Brice is Brice”?
