Koscielny also detailed the difficulty of not being able to play at the World Cup and was blunt when speaking of Didier Deschamps.
What an absolute legend. My favorite player at the club.. a man who has given it his all. A world champion in my eyes. Go on Lolo! #Koscielny #COYG https://t.co/Zf8iS9nh7J

I'm sorry that Koscielny got hurt, but these comments smack of indulgent self pity
You can't carry passengers when trying to win a World Cup. Which Deschamps did

Brutally honest interview by Koscielny. He says he wanted France to lose because he missed out on the World Cup. That injury really hurt him, hopefully he comes back hungrier than ever to captain Arsenal.

So #Koscielny is retiring from France because DD didn't call him to see if he's OK often enough.
Nothing at all to do with the fact he's 33, nearly 34 and has two beasts in Varane and Umtiti ahead of him in the pecking order.
Nothing at all to do with that. ?#AFC

Laurent Koscielny….what a joke. There's 4 CB's in the French squad better than you. Ridiculous decision and statement!!! #France #koscielny #earlyretirement

Laurent Koscielny has announced his international retirement. His sole focus now remains on Arsenal:
"I want to continue at Arsenal. I do not know what level I'm going to have, I have not resumed training, but I want to fight."
Hope to see him soon.

Arsenal should retire the #6 shirt for Laurent Koscielny when he leaves. Legend.
