On the eve of Les Bleus’ entry into Euro 2024, football remains largely in the background and the French team has understood this well. On the sidelines of the legislative elections, Marcus Thuram and Kylian Mbappé called on the French to go and vote and took a stand against the arrival of the extremes in power. In turn, Didier Deschamps assured that his players had every right to express themselves on the subject, as French citizens.
“Everyone will have their own analysis, I assume that there will be pros and cons. The players are footballers and French citizens, they are not outside of what the French are experiencing. There is no advice, there is the freedom to be able to say their words, with their sensitivity. Sincerely, I am not at the players’ table, obviously they discuss politics. I can only follow what seems most important to me, even if I have not taken a political position, but there is a civic duty. We represent everything that is diversity, unity, solidarity, everything we can. I am disconnected. If you attack me head-on, I will answer you. We are united, we will do everything to stay that way. I am a coach, I have a position that I have always had.”explained the coach at a press conference, calling for the union of the French before France-Austria, Monday (9 p.m.).
