This Thursday, Didier Deschamps revealed his list for the next gathering of the French team. The Blues will face Germany and Chile during the preparation matches for Euro 2024. The opportunity for the coach to test his squad and find the right formula a few months before the tournament. At a press conference, DD was also questioned about his offensive sector and the recent management of Luis Enrique regarding Kylian Mbappé. The Spanish coach does not hesitate to put his star on the bench or bring him out during meetings. And that ultimately suits Deschamps.
“Given the number of matches he has played… Beyond the physical integrity of the players at the end of the season, the element of freshness in a competition is an essential element. Whether it’s Kylian or others. Chaining weeks to three matches, inevitably there will be fatigue. The fewer the better. Ares, these are choices made by his trainer. He said (editor’s note: Luis Enrique) that he didn’t like people poking their noses into his affairs. So it’s not up to me to do it. Well if he could give a little more playing time to Kolo Muani that would suit me a little more though… (laughs)”
