I want to play with Varane for France,says Mangala

Thegoalmac understands that Manchester City's Mangala,Real Madrid's Varane and Barcelona's Jeremy Mathieu are all in the mix for the two centre-back roles for Saturday's clash in Paris and Mangala is confident he would develop a strong partnership with the Real Madrid man.

For me i will choose Varane to partner Mathieu,as Mathieu will bring the needed experience at the back,rather than playing two young and inexperienced center backs in Varane and Mangala.

Who and who would you choose for France at the back between the three?Continue to see what Mangala said.
"I know Rapha well. We played together with the France Under-21 team. We know each other well on the pitch, it's true," said Mangala, who has three international caps.

"Now, regarding my position, when you're part of the squad, you have the chance to play regularly.

"But you only get one opportunity to show what you can do to start. But I don't think it's any different for the other players who are part of this group.

"There are those who are more experienced in the French team, who have already learned a lot. But apart from that I don't feel any different."

Mangala added that he was keen to add to his two starts in the French shirt and disregarded any talk he was undeserving of a place in the national side, despite a mixed start to his Premier League career.

"I deserve my place as much as anyone else who is part of this squad," the 23-year-old said.

"All those in the group have the same ambitions. I was already part of this group before.
"Those who come here and are among the 23 will of course hope to play.

"When I was in Porto I wanted to play. Today I'm at City and it's the same. It's the same for everyone.
"Everyone has ambition and wants to play."
