The head coach of the French national team, ahead of the match against the Ukrainian national team in the 1st round of the qualifying tournament for the 2026 World Cup, which will take place today in Wrocław, answered a question about the transfer of Ukrainian national team defender Ilya Zabarniy to PSG.
"Zabarniy played very well last season at Bournemouth. It’s clear that this is a player who has undergone significant development, but the key aspect about him is reliability; Zabarniy can always be relied upon and you can place big bets on him.
Despite being a young player, he performs excellently for the Ukrainian national team.
I think that since he was invited to PSG, they conducted a thorough analysis, studied his capabilities, and he truly deserves such an advancement in his career," said Deschamps during the pre-match press conference.
