Jules Kounde is taking important steps forward in his professional career. The defender is earning a place in the French national team thanks to his versatility and his ability to play in different positions on the pitch.
The Barcelona player spoke about playing in other positions at a press conference: "I feel good at right-back, I talked about it before the World Cup started with the coach.
"It's always an opportunity to play for France. I've never played in that position, but I've always tried to give my best and I'm looking forward to it. I'm making progress here. The left flank is another possibility. I might play there sometime, we'll see what the coach decides.
"I have Ousmane (Dembele) and we both know each other well, because we see each other every day at Barcelona training sessions, but they don't necessarily ask for the same things as you do here," he concluded.
