Inside the Mind of Clement Lenglet: A Casual Chat with Didier Deschamps
Didier Deschamps: Bonjour, Clement! It’s been a while since we had a good chat. How are things going?
Clement Lenglet: Bonjour, Didier! Things are going great, thanks. Always staying busy on the pitch and off. You know how it is.
Didier Deschamps: Definitely. Speaking of busy, I saw that tackle against Real Madrid last week. That was world-class defending, mon ami. What was going through your mind?
Clement Lenglet: Merci, Didier! In moments like that, it’s all about staying focused. I just kept my eye on the ball and committed to my decision. Plus, a little bit of adrenaline helps too!
Didier Deschamps: Ha! Adrenaline indeed. So, switching gears a bit, what are your thoughts on the upcoming international fixtures? The fans are eager to see you in the blue jersey again.
Clement Lenglet: I’m really looking forward to it. Representing France is always an honor. There’s something special about the camaraderie and the energy. And I’m ready to give it my all, as always.
Didier Deschamps: That’s the spirit. On a lighter note, I heard you’re into video games. Is it true you’ve been dominating in FIFA?
Clement Lenglet: Guilty as charged! It’s a fun way to unwind. And it’s always nice to play as myself and try to score some goals… which, as you know, isn’t my usual position!
Didier Deschamps: Haha, I’m sure you’re giving the forwards a run for their money, even if it’s just virtual. Alright, last question. Any pre-match rituals or something unique you do to get in the zone?
Clement Lenglet: I like to keep it simple. Just some stretching, listening to my favorite tunes, and visualizing the game ahead. But if there’s one thing I always do, it’s putting my left boot on first. Superstitious, I guess!
Didier Deschamps: Superstitions, eh? We all have them. Well, Clement, it was great catching up with you. Best of luck in your upcoming matches. We’ll all be cheering for you!
Clement Lenglet: Thanks, Didier! Looking forward to making everyone proud. Until next time!
