Present at a press conference this Wednesday, Didier Deschamps wanted to be reassuring despite the poor form of several players on the France team.
Announced as favorites for Euro 2024, the Blues will be expected at the turning point this summer in Germany. However, the finalist team of the last World Cup and second nation in the FIFA rankings will approach the next European Championship with several executives uncertain on a physical level. A context which does not affect the serenity of its coach Didier Deschamps.
“I’m not worried, I have no doubts, he told journalists. Information may change daily. But before making the decisions, there were enough arguments. Zero risk does not exist, even for someone who is in great shape. We are never safe. We manage on a case-by-case basis, not having all the answers today,” the Basque coach initially indicated at a press conference. »
Deschamps keeps a cool head
The Bayonne technician also puts into perspective the declines observed in certain club players: “It happens that players come without being in good shape, we could name quite a few, and it happens differently in the France team. The opposite too. I am a positive person, I am driven by the idea that each day that passes brings me closer to the fact that the answer is positive. Everything will be done to make it go as well as possible. »
Before starting the competition against Austria on June 17, the Tricolores will play two friendly preparation matches against Luxembourg on June 5 and Canada on June 9.
