French team: “If Lucas Hernandez had been there, Ferland Mendy would have been there too”, Deschamps justifies the presence of Mendy

Didier Deschamps justified the selection of Ferland Mendy for the Euro. “If Lucas Hernandez had been there, Ferland Mendy would have been there too. I consider Lucas to be a central defender, so Ferland would have been there. He had a lot of injuries last season and this season. He evolved in his game, which was mainly focused offensively. With Bellingham, Vinicius or Rodrygo in front of him, he projects and doubles less, but he has gained in defensive quality, which was not his strong point.
