In a France that does not finish to start and that has accumulated more doubts that certainties, Jules Koundé is being one of the positive notes in the approach of Didier Deschamps. It has 'confirmed' as the right side title of the selection, by in front of Benjamin Pavard and Jonathan Clauss, and has signed two remarkable performances in the beginning of the Eurocopa. In the FC Barcelona have to be very attentive to his exert, because it can be a vital player in the project of Hansi Flick that despegará during this summer.

Against Low Countries found the challenge of 'brake' to Cody Gakpo that it is a player 'lethal' when has spaces to run. It lived a very interesting duel and 'contested' in which they delivered the triumphs, but in which the Parisian defender showed a version more than reliable. It was very attentive in defensive works and also appeared like a solution to command balloons in long and find to the attackers. His performance in the Eurocopa, up to now, is being very striking.

The Barça, attentive to the performances of Koundé with France

In ninety minutes, signed four clear, won three duels (of five), had 90% of tarpaulin in his passes (46/51) and gave two key passes. A very complete performance that confirms the good feelings that already had left in the duel in front of Austria. Didier Deschamps has showed that trusts he and everything seems to indicate to that it will be one of the 'indisputable' of France during this summer. Already it had been it, in the same position, during the World-wide of Qatar 2022.

Koundé Arrived to the Eurocopa after a season in which it went the second player of the Barça that more minutes had added, only by behind Ílkay Gündogan. It dressed like the 'turns off fires' of Xavi Hernández by the right band and a player that fulfilled in all the opportunities in which it needed him . It began playing of head office, where more comfortable feels , but the injury of Alejandro Balde and the 'transfer' of Joao Cancel to the left band caused that it went back to the right side, where already had played in his first year in the City Condal.

Koundé Aims to be key... And it opens the debate

Already Hansi Flick has left clear to the sportive direction that has Koundé for the season that comes. It sees him like head office for 'explode' his best virtues, but is conscious that his versatility and capacity to surrender without mattering the position or role that award him, will be key so that it continue being one of the players of the Barça that more minutes adds by season. Only it will remain to see how the trainer Teutonic configures his defence, taking in account that will bet by Cancel and Balde by the bands. Between Ronald Araújo, Pau Cubarsí and Koundé will have to define which will be the couple of head offices.

The 'blessed' debate will be on the table of Flick and there will be a lot of competition in the staff; a factor that can be paramount so that the players are able to find and show his best version. With Koundé the expectations are very high, especially if it is able to keep the rhythm in this Eurocopa. The most logical is that it was an indisputable and important player, but it will be necessary to expect to the pre-season to define the plans of the trainer and how 'fit' his ideas in the team.
