“It’s his choice and I wish him the best”
” I have never been annoyed by these situations because it is their freedom. Robin has an atypical career, we have been following him for a while. He is not a player who plays in a big European club, and he does not take up much space in the media space. But he has been performing well for several seasons. It’s his choice and I wish him the best with the Spanish selection. “, said Didier Deschamps.

In an interview given to Movistar+ last March, Robin Le Normand explained the reasons for this choice: “ It was easier than I thought. It’s clear that I’m French, my family is French, but when you look at my career… Where was I trained, where did I realize my childhood dream? It’s here, in Spain. Where I was trained to be a professional was here at Real Sociedad. I’ve been here for eight years and I’m not going to convince everyone, but it’s not about that either. I’m very happy, it’s a source of pride and what I want is to defend this shirt. »
