EDF: Didier Deschamps decides on a possible arrival of Zinedine Zidane

Present at a press conference before challenging Iceland in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Didier Deschamps praised the qualities of the Blues' future opponent. Facing journalists, the French coach praised the merits of the Icelanders, particularly in the midfield.

“I consider Iceland to be better than Ukraine, especially with their midfield. There is what you need. I don't forget their match at the Parc des Princes, with a lot of aggression, racing and technical quality. Our objective is to take points and get closer to qualification”.
