Ludovic Ajorque France national team call-up, Digi Mart USA News: Ludovic Ajorque was the key figure in Stade Brestois’ 2-0 victory at Lorient on Monday evening, scoring the first goal for his side with an inspired strike.
The performance earned renewed praise from his coach, Julien Lachuer, who once again sent a message to Zinedine Zidane. Speaking to Ligue 1+, Lachuer said the striker is clearly good enough to join the Bleus.
“We have very great players in France, and Ludo is one of them. We have a great national coach, and we must trust him.
If he needs him, he will be there. Ludo is a player who makes the team better, he has that game intelligence and that sense of collective play,” Lachuer said.
Lachuer repeated his stance, stating that if the national coach needs a presence in the box and a player who attracts the ball and makes others better, Ajorque is available.
This is not the first time the Brest coach has advocated for a call-up for the 32-year-old forward. After a match against Angers on October 10, in which Ajorque scored and provided a decisive assist in a 5-1 win, Lachuer made a similar argument.
“I heard that the national coach wanted a player with presence in the box. If he were watching his TV…
I will campaign to have Ludo Ajorque in the French national team. In any case, he deserves it,” Lachuer said at the time.
He added that the club must have ambition and not be satisfied with playing matches for Brest in Ligue 1.
Lachuer also stressed that the decision rests with the national coach, noting that France has many top players and that the club is content to have Ajorque, adding that he could serve as a role model for young players at the club’s training center.
A response is expected Friday from 6 p.m. local time.
