The squad for France's Euro 2024 qualifying matches against the Netherlands and Scotland has been announced. The yellow-red team's star right-back, Sacha Boey, was not included in the preliminary squad.
In his statement regarding Boey, Didier Deschamps said, "There are other players who play as right-backs like Sacha Boey whom we are following. We are following Sacha Boey. There will be competition in this area. I believe I have chosen the right squad for the French national team at the moment. We have a large number of top-level players. However, our door is open to new choices."
The young player has expressed his desire to play for the national team both through his social media posts and previous remarks. Before the squad was announced, Boey shared an image of a cartoon character watching an hourglass, clearly showing how much he wanted to be on the national team, but he could not reach his dream.
TURMOIL IN FRANCE
On the other hand, French football fans reacted to Sacha Boey not being called up to the French national team. Galatasaray fans also heavily criticized Deschamps' decision. Some football fans claimed that Sacha Boey was not included in the squad because he is Muslim, in addition to playing in Turkey.
SUPPORT FROM GALATASARAY
Galatasaray also supported its player on social media. In the yellow-reds' social media post, the words, "Keep your head up, Sacha. We know you are one of the best in the world," were used.
