Les Bleus: M’Vila will face Brésil

Laurent Blanc has called Yann M’Vila once again in his list of players selected to play the next friendly game with France. Les Bleus will face Brazil next Wednesday, in a prestigious friendly to be played at the Stade de France.

Talking to Le Parisien a few days ago, the Rennes midfielder affirmed that « as a kid, [he] was supporting Brazil”, after his father showed him “video tapes of Garrincha and Pelé». «When we played in the street, I was Brazil. I imagined myself as Cesar Sampaio, the number 6 in 1998 ». This Wednesday, M’Vila will actually face the Seleção.

During his press conference, Laurent Blanc affirmed that M’Vila is « a young man with great qualities, very performant when he plays with France”.”A national coach has to build a backbone for his team, Blanc went on. Yann M’Vila is part of him, him like others are very important in the squad”.
