France hosts Spain on Tuesday for a match part of the qualifying for the 2014 World Cup.

The first leg match enabled Blaise Matuidi to take a course in his career. Since that meeting, the Parisian midfielder is mounted to become one of the best.

The Angolan origin became a reference at his position in Europe. Thanks to his performance, the player has taken a new dimension in PSG as well as in the team of France. Even his coach in Paris, Carlo Ancelotti, does not hesitate to praise him.

“Yes, I’m a little surprised (by the meteoric rise of Matuidi, ed.) But I think it surprised everyone. In a year and a half, he has improved his confidence and consistency. Today, he is also as essential to PSG as Ibrahimovic or Thiago Silva, “says transalpin technician in the columns of L’Equipe.
“He is a player who does not necessarily have a technical talent but he has the talent of the heart that he puts into the game. I think he might be a little taken by the taste of the offensive game otherwise. Sometimes during the game, I told him to stay longer in a position in front of the defense, not to unbalance the block. Let’s say I am limiting him little … In what area can he grow? It is difficult for him to move because he is already very, very good. “
