After the historic defeat against Gibraltar 14-0, the French team completes Euro 2024 qualifying against Greece on Tuesday evening in Athens (8:45 p.m.).

Without the injured Warren Zaire-Emery and following the historic performance established against Gibraltar, the France team completes qualifying for Euro 2024 against Greece on Tuesday evening in Athens (8:45 p.m.).

After Adrien Rabiot, it was Didier Deschamps who presented himself to journalists this Monday evening. The coach was asked about the identity of the captain of the Blues against the Greeks and did not hesitate for a single second.

“Mbappé captain? Yes, it is planned. It is also planned to make changes in the eleven. And during the match too (smile).

DD also made an important decision on Antoine Griezmann, who will play the match: “ Yes, even if it’s 30 seconds, I’ll make him continue his streak“.

Deschamps also made a revelation about the goalkeeper position: “ Brice Samba will be goalkeeper. Brice, like his club, had a slightly more difficult start to the season. But he is a competitor, they rectified the situation with RC Lens. Alphonse (Areola) is doing good things, this year he is playing Premier League matches, he is gaining in serenity and is putting in good performances. The hierarchy is good if it is defined. But it could change in March or June. Competition exists, if I think it’s better to do things differently…”
