« It would be a dream to be called up for the France team, » said Savanier

Brilliant with Montpellier in Ligue 1, Téji Savanier is undoubtedly one of the men at the start of the season. The praise for him is increasing, so much so that at 29 years old, the former Nîmes Olympique player now presents himself as a credible candidate for the France team.

The captain of the MHSC confided on Saturday to RMC Sport on his dream of putting on the swimsuit struck by the cock: « Do I believe in my chances of being selected? No, there are some very good players in the team. It would be a dream to be called. It stays in the back of my mind. I don’t really like to talk about it, I prefer to live the present moment to the fullest. There are players who play in big European clubs, they play the Champions League or the Europa League. It’s easier for them. I focus on my club. If it’s ever to happen, it will. But it’s not an obsession in my head, otherwise I’m going to hit the wall. I think of others first. I prefer to devote myself to my team. I have to be good with my club.« 

He still had the opportunity to put on the blue tunic with the Olympic selection during the Tokyo Olympics: “It was a dream for me. I am very proud to have been to the Olympics. I had a lot of emotion during my first Marseillaise, I had never felt that in my life. I am proud to have represented the French team at the Olympics, even if we did not have a good tournament (the French team was eliminated in the first round)« , He explained.
