Didier Deschamps played billiards. Bothered by recurring back problems, the coach of the France team was forced to go to the operating table at the end of the Euro 2024 qualifiers. Missing the draw for the next European Championship which will be held in Germany next summer, the Basque is doing much better but must “still take care” as he expressed it at Figaro, this Thursday. In the meantime, the 2018 world champion “take your troubles patiently” on the Côte d’Azur before returning to action next March for a friendly match against Germany.
“You can trust me to keep the France team at the highest level. I know that the expectation and the demands are still just as important. We will throw ourselves into battle with great ambition. The very high level is ruthless. We will be facing very good nations but with all our energy, we will make sure to go as high as possible. We will still share very beautiful emotions together”, he initially expressed at the beginning of December during a general assembly of the FFF. As a reminder, France will face the Netherlands, Austria and a play-off whose identity remains unknown.
