Eliaquim Mangala, the Franco-Congolese central defender from FC Porto, has received a call-up to the French national team for the first time. Mangala is set to join the Blues on June 1 for a tour of South America, during which France will play two friendly matches against Uruguay and Brazil on June 5 and 9, respectively. Mangala views his call-up as the result of the goals he has set for himself and expressed gratitude to FC Porto for their support. While he dreams of playing in the World Cup, Mangala emphasizes the need for calm and acknowledges that much can happen between now and the tournament.
