This Thursday evening, the France team began its preparation for the 2026 World Cup with a match against Ivory Coast. And Didier Deschamps’ team lost in this first match (1-2). A defeat which is obviously not alarming but which should allow the Blues to quickly get their heads back on track before flying to the United States. At the microphone of TF1Parisian Lucas Hernandez spoke about this meeting. And he doesn’t want to be alarmed after this little hiccup.
“We always want to win, but we don’t always have it. We are in preparation, there have been a lot of changes, the team has rotated a lot. We are still in preparation, we will have to improve things, but this is the path to follow to start in the best possible way on June 16. With PSG, we had an extraordinary season, but that’s in the past. The present is the EDF. We will have to work hard to arrive in the best possible way. A World Cup is extraordinary for the players and the French public, so we want to make our public proud.”
