Elected man of the match against Brentford yesterday (2-2), Axel Disasi allowed his team, Chelsea, to bring home a point from the Gtech Community Stadium thanks to his equalizing goal from a corner, his second goal of the season. The 25-year-old, criticized during his debut with the Blues, is now the boss of the defense in the absence of Reece James and Thiago Silva. Proof of this is that he is the most used player since the start of the exercise with 3,145 minutes played, far ahead of Conor Gallagher and his 2,816 minutes. He has the soul of a leader, he who was the captain of AS Monaco.

Uncompromising in major events like his duel against Erling Haaland against Manchester City, Axel Disasi impresses the legends of the English championship. So much so that Jamie Carragher compared him to John Terry, a true icon of the London club. Unmissable, the 25-year-old has only missed two league matches this season. He has started 92% of his matches this season. He is one of the rare lights in the shadow of Chelsea, 11th in the Premier League.

Axel Disasi in the French group for the Euro?
The native of Gonesse hits the screen and therefore makes an impression in England, a few months before the Euro. The one who has five selections with the France team is not indisputable in the eyes of Didier Deschamps, but his recent performances could give the coach something to think about. Last November, he replaced Ibrahima Konaté, who was withdrawn, during the last meeting of the Blues, where he came on against Greece.

However, he faces stiff competition in this position. Jules Koundé, Dayot Upamecano, Ibrahima Konaté among others are highly appreciated by Didier Deschamps. If the Liverpool defender is excellent with the Reds, the first two appear less fit than Disasi in recent weeks. While the 1998 world champion must unveil his list on March 14 for the March gathering, the ex-Monegasque acts as a serious contender for a place in the group of 23, on the sidelines of the matches against Germany and the Chile, March 23 and 26. Time for confirmation for the versatile defender?
