He somehow has an outfield teammate taller than him. I wonder who wins between them in 1 on 1 basketball.

Stumbled across this Guardian profile of the Le Havre youth system. The players that have come through their academy is pretty impressive: Paul Pogba, Riyad Mahrez, Dimitri Payet, Édouard Mendy, among others got their start there. If he's got what it takes, they'll develop it. Enjoy: https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...ub-world-class-footballers-pogba-mahrez-payet

Called up to the France U20s for the Maurice Revello Tournament (formerly known as the Toulon Tournament): 🔴 France unveil their squad for the @TournoiMRevello 2022🇫🇷 Find out the 22 players who will represent @equipedefrance during the #TMR2022➡️ https://t.co/EZU43tODOq pic.twitter.com/7rh5wPg33Q— Tournoi Maurice Revello (@TournoiMRevello) May 19, 2022 There are some serious players on this squad, including Hugo Ekitike who has been linked with Dortmund after 10 goals in Ligue 1 this season and is a really promising young player. It wasn’t the second half of the season that Le Havre and Richardson were hoping for, but he’s still going to have plenty of chances to play his way out of Le Havre.
Richardson started today for the France U20s against Panama's U23s in their opening match of the Maurice Revello/Toulon tournament, alongside Bayern's Tanguy Nianzou and the aforementioned Hugo Ekitike: Le 11 🇫🇷 : 1️⃣6️⃣ Melvin Zinga 🇫🇷0️⃣2️⃣ Thierno Baldé 🇫🇷0️⃣4️⃣ Tanguy Kouassi 🇫🇷1️⃣5️⃣ Maxime Estève 🇫🇷0️⃣5️⃣ Chrislain Matsima 🇫🇷0️⃣6️⃣ Lucien Agoumé 🇫🇷1️⃣4️⃣ Mohamed Achi 🇫🇷 1️⃣8️⃣ Amir Richardson 🇫🇷 0️⃣7️⃣ Nathanaël Mbuku 🇫🇷 0️⃣9️⃣ Hugo Ekitike 🇫🇷 1️⃣9️⃣ Sékou Mara 🇫🇷— Treize013 (@treize013) May 29, 2022 Despite the loaded talent, Panama pulled off the upset and took the match on penalties, which are taken during the group stage in this tournament. This live feed notes that in the 44', the Panamanian GK apparently made a great save on a header from Richardson that would have been a goal. He was subbed out in the 59'. The squad's next matches in the group stage are against Saudi Arabia U20s on 6/1 and Argentina U20s on 6/4.

He came in in the 62' as France redeemed their poor performance against Panama with a 6-2 dismantling of the Argentinian squad coached by Javier Mascherano. France completely dominated and it was a total disaster for the Argentinians, apart from the individual performance of Man United's Alejandro Garnacho, who scored a fantastic free kick and drew a penalty against Nianzou (and converted). Very talented young player. Richardson had some good defensive moments. Had one instance where he forced an impressive turnover in Argentina's half and dribbled into the box, but eventually lost possession. He is extremely rangy and has the ability to apply a ton of pressure on the other team, although he did lose some intensity as the game wound down - though it's understandable given the score and tournament setting. His upside shines through the roof. France is through to the semifinals - we'll see what Richardson's role will be.
Back on Thursday, Richardson entered in the 82’ minute as they closed out a 4-1 win against Mexico U20s (which included Efrain Alvarez and Santiago Munoz). They play Venezuela U23s in the final tomorrow.
Richardson came in as a halftime substitute as France scored two second half goals to win 2-1 and take the tournament. 🏆 The winners of the @tournoimrevello 2022 : @equipedefrance 🇫🇷#TMR2022 pic.twitter.com/KAYO3suLUD— Tournoi Maurice Revello (@TournoiMRevello) June 12, 2022
