France national team manager Laurent Blanc has expressed his happiness to see Loic Remy return to full fitness but is unsure whether to take Toulouse youngster Etienne Capoue to Eastern Europe or not
Despite Olympique de Marseille’s failure to mount a title assault, striker Loic Remy has been in fine form for the Rhone side. The former Nice man has had his fair share of injury worries this season which has meant that Marseille struggled to find goals
from somewhere else.
However, the 25-year-old is now fully fit and France national team manager, Laurent Blanc, is keen on taking the player with him to Poland-Ukraine for the 2012 European Championships.
The former Bordeaux coach says that he is hoping for Remy to stay fit because France would need a versatile attacking player at the Euros. Blanc also heaped praise on the striker’s rapid improvement over the course of the campaign.
“Loic Remy is interesting because of his versatility. He can play in several positions. He has improved his decision making and is more technical in front of goal.”
Blanc also said that the striker’s return to fitness is a good news for him. If he stays fit, Loic Remy is sure to be on the plane headed to Eastern Europe.
Young Etienne Capoue has been phenomenal this season for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Toulouse-FC-c40751. Les Pitchouns are currently in fourth place in the Ligue 1 standings. His performances for Alain Casanova’s side have led many asking Blanc to include him in the 23-man squad.
The youngster has represented France at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Junior-c39637 levels but is yet to earn a senior side call-up. Laurent Blanc has admitted that he is unsure whether to take the defensive midfielder to Poland-Ukraine with him or not.
Blanc feels that Capoue still has a lot to prove and also hinted that the player should move to a bigger club in the future in order to be a regular member of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 senior side.
“He is in the provisional squad, maybe he won’t go, but he is always monitored. He might be a surprise but we are well-supplied in his position. He has done well so far but it might be the right time for him to be at a club that plays in a high level.”
