Jonathan Clauss, RC Lens right back, has had one of the most emotional moments of his career at his 25 year old. The French winger was called up for the first time to the French national team for the matches of the European FIFA date that will be played at the end of March.
The call for players was broadcast on television and the entire RC Lens team, from Ligue 1 in France, accompanied Clauss while waiting for him to be named.
His name came up on the list and all his teammates shouted as if they had won a title and went over to the side of 29 years old thus receiving his first call-up to the national team, despite the fact that he never played in the lower ranks of France.
When you are a team that goes to one, you can do anything. @RCLens leaves us with a wonderful moral: this is how they experienced Jonathan Clauss’s first call-up with the French National Team. As if they had summoned everyone. Beautiful. pic.twitter.com/vYIekYbFJT— Manu Heredia (@ManuHeredia18) March 17, 2022

Clauss has had a boom in his career. He was born in Strasbourg in 1992, made his debut with the French Vauban in 2010 with 18 years of age, then went through the Linx, Raon-l’Etape (2015-16), Avranches (2016-16) or Quevilly Rouen (2017-18) and from there to Arminia Bielefeld in the German second division and from there his arrival at RC Lens, his first team in the French first division.
And it is not for less this year, Clauss has 4 goals and 9 assists in 27 games as a right back that has generated interest in Didier Deschamps and who will have his first appearance with the world champion team.
