On last weekend's international match day, Monaco midfielder Joan Ameni once again wowed the audience. In the 90+3rd minute of the game, the starting French youngster received a corner kick from Guendouzi to complete the header and help France to a 2-1 comeback victory over African powerhouse Côte d'Ivoire.
Joan Ameni, who played for France for the eighth time, finally scored his debut goal for the French senior national team at Velodrome. The post-00s who debuted in bordeaux youth training shined after coming to Monaco, and he is regarded as a talented player who can compete with Pogba in terms of physique and technique.
Although only one goal has been scored in The Ligue 1 this season, it is believed that the national team's debut goal is also an important milestone for the young him.
"It was the fruit of the effort and I tried my best to stay calm. It's true that it's great for me, but as I said at the beginning, I've always had a lot of goals, and scoring debut is one of them, and now it's time for me to reach the others. ”
'With such a team and a technical team, I can fully express myself and it really makes my experience on the pitch really great."
"In the first half, we attacked with all our might, and Ivory Coast frequently found opportunities to break through in the counterattack. In the second half we tightened a bit, didn't want to hand over the vacancies easily, and eventually our strategy paid off. ”
For the outstanding performance of the beloved disciple, france coach Deschamps also did not hesitate to praise:
"Joan Ameni is top-notch, he has a lot of potential and amazing self-control. It's been evident in previous games, whether it's a starter or a substitute. ”
"He brought something new to the team, which was originally inclined to make him take on more defensive responsibilities, but in fact Joan Ameni also has excellent propulsion ability. He is just 22 years old and still very young, but he is already a very mature midfielder with few shortcomings. ”
