Euro 2024, Deschamps does not jump to the ceiling

France now knows its opponents in the final phase of the next European Championship. The Tricolores will face respectively Austria, the Netherlands and a team from the play-offs, which should be either Wales, Poland, Finland or Estonia.

Deschamps wants to be cautious

Compared to other renowned European nations, the Blues were rather spared. However, there was distrust and humility in their camp after the draw ceremony.

Didier Deschamps, who was not present in Hamburg, judged the group ” difficult “. “In particular the fact of having had the Netherlands. Whom we certainly beat in qualifying, but that brings a more difficult group. And Austria, who we met in the League of Nations, was complicated. It’s a dense group and we don’t know the last guest. It’s difficult “he developed during an intervention on the TMC channel.

The coach was then asked which team he feared the most? His response was as follows. “Potentially, the Netherlands have more quality. But the Austrians are never easy to play. But, still, the Netherlands as a whole is one of the best European nations.”

DD still welcomed the fact that the group was less tough than during the previous edition of the Euro. “It’s less bad, yes, but you have to be ready right away. You will have to do what is necessary on 1^er and the 2^e match, to be able to manage for the 3^e “, he concluded.
