French national team defender Jules Koundé has publicly responded to an accusation made by sports journalist Daniel Riolo. Riolo had claimed that Koundé displayed a poor attitude during his time with the French squad, suggesting he was not fully committed.
In a statement, Koundé strongly denied the allegations, saying, 'Je mets ma main à couper' (I would swear to it), emphasizing his dedication to the team. He expressed disappointment that such claims were made without evidence.
Koundé, who plays for FC Barcelona, has been a regular member of the French national team since his debut in 2021. He has participated in major tournaments, including the 2022 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2024.
The incident has sparked debate among fans and pundits, but no further evidence has emerged to support Riolo's claims. Koundé remains focused on his performances for club and country.
