On the occasion of the last match of the season against Greece on Monday, Didier Deschamps plans to field the best possible French team by doing with each other’s form.
Since the beginning of June, most Ligue 1 players or foreign league players have been on vacation. Finally not all saw that the last international period of the season will still extend until the beginning of next week. Afterwards, it will be time for the internationals to take a well-deserved rest following a very long season, marked in particular by a World Cup in the middle of winter. At the heart of the France team, for example, some players have played more than 60 games in 2022-2023. An extraordinary exercise that can push Didier Deschamps not to line up his standard team against Greece on Monday, during the 4th day of qualifying for Euro 2024? The response from the coach of the Blues is quite cash, with the added bonus of a small tackle for the authorities.
“We have to protect the players”

“If I’m going to make any changes? As if I was going to tell you (smiles). But all 23 are supposed to be available. I will make sure not to do rotations to do rotations. I don’t have all the parts yet. Players have played more than 60 matches, that’s a lot. Even if there are many things that make it possible to recover better, organizations are very busy. What changes is the frequency, there are not many periods with one match per week anymore. But given what is planned and the new competitions, the calendar has been very busy for a while. The vacation period is important on a psychological and physical level. We must protect the players and not neglect recovery times.launched, in a press conference, Deschamps, who wants to end the season in style by dominating this “very nice team” from Greece. In the event of a victory against the second in Group B, France would in any case take a big step towards Euro 2024 in Germany.
