Kingsley Comang is reportedly considering taking off his French national team uniform at an early age.
Citing a report by France's L'Equipe on the 10th (Korea Standard Time), Germany's Sport Bild quoted Comang, the star of Bayern Munich, as saying, "'Comang is considering retiring from the French national team. Comang reported that it had suffered from multiple injuries ahead of this Euro 2024.
Comang is a winger who grew up with great expectations from an early age. He grew up at the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) youth academy, but since PSG had many superstars at that time, he moved to Juventus and took on new challenges. Even after moving to Juventus, Comang did not establish a clear position in the first team.
At this time, Bayern reached out to Comang in the 2015-2016 season. For Bayern, who had to prepare for the post-Frank Ribery and Arjen Robben era, Comang, who has full potential as a winger, was a reasonable recruit. It was also the type of player Bayern wanted.
Comang's breakthrough power is among the best in Europe. The base speed and acceleration are very fast. It breaks through based on agility, demonstrates technological prowess, and also shows breakthrough power at a level. Unless a one-on-one defender is a strong defender, it is very difficult to suppress the breakthrough of the Comang. He is right-footed, but he also uses his left foot frequently, making it difficult to predict his movement.
However, the biggest drawback of Comang is its glass body. I've never played 30 games in the league in my entire career. The injury history registered in the soccer statistics media Transfer Markt alone is as many as 45 times. In other words, he suffered at least four injuries every year during his 10 years as a professional.
I almost couldn't participate in this Euros due to injury. Fortunately, he recovered from his injury at the end of the season and was able to participate in the Euros as he returned. However, Coman only had 15 minutes to choose from French coach Didier Deschamps.
He barely recovered from his injury and wore a French uniform, but he seems to be considering retirement when he feels he is not an important player in the coach's plan. It is a very early retirement consideration in that Comang is still 28 years old and he is still a French national player if he can show his skills.
Comang is also likely to leave Bayern this summer. It is already on the release list, and Comang is also reportedly considering a new challenge. As PSG, his mother-in-law, is interested in Comang, the possibility of becoming a new colleague of Lee Kang-in is expected.
Sport Bild said 'Deschamps used Comang for only 15 minutes throughout the Euros. It was too little time for Comang. Comang says he has no plans to play soccer for a long time. If so, we can seriously consider not playing for the national team anymore,' he added.
