The press conference has come to an end Thank you to everyone for following us. See you tomorrow at 9 p.m. for the clash between France and Brazil.
On his state of mind before his final competition with Les Bleus “What’s behind is behind, it’s part of history. The most important thing is today and tomorrow, but I don’t think about my personal exit. We will do everything to go as far as possible, there are stages to pass and it starts with the selection of players. I don’t feel nostalgic, I don’t think every time it’s the last time I experience this.”
On Ousmane Dembélé’s positioning “Even though at PSG, he has a starting center-forward position, he can be anywhere during the match. Like most offensive players, the important thing is that the zones are occupied, but offensively, there is freedom. Ousmane has the ability to play in all offensive positions. I discuss this with him, it’s also a matter of association with the other offensive players.”
On the offensive animation with 4 attackers “As long as we have a lot of offensive players, we will continue, without losing defensive balance. Playing with 4 is not a problem if we have the ball. And if we don’t, we will have to find different solutions.”
On the sporting interest of the match against Brazil “On every match, we can. Even against a less prestigious nation. This time, it speaks more, even for the players. We are not here to do marketing. There will be a truth on the field that will provide elements. The last match was 4 months ago, what will happen tomorrow and Sunday will be useful for us with the staff.”
On Philippe Diallo’s statements about the future national team coach “I will not answer through you, I talk enough with him. I focus on what is important to me, that is tomorrow.”
On Kylian Mbappé’s playing time “He can start, come in… Play the whole match, no. Like all the other players, he will enter into the reflection of rotating the squad. The objective is both to win but also not to take risks on the players, who will have very important matches after the Champions League quarter-finals and the national titles.”
On the clash against Brazil “Playing Brazil is always a special moment, it’s been over 10 years since we faced them. It’s a poster because Brazil and France are part of the teams that speak to many people thanks to the results they have obtained. It’s a friendly match, but prestigious.”
On the playing time of his squad “Clearly, it’s the right time, especially with two very close matches, within three days. The goal is to see as many players on the field as possible.”
Kylian Mbappé’s press conference has ended Didier Deschamps will take over from his captain to answer the questions.
On a possible title with the captain’s armband “Winning a World Cup is always the highlight of your career. It’s so rare, so difficult… The more time passes, the older you get, the more you have to be in the present moment and experience things. If we manage to win, it will be something fantastic, whether for the players or for all the French.”
On the USA, his love for this culture “Given the difficulties in leaving the hotel, I think I am not unknown here (laughs). It’s a culture that has inspired sports a lot, which pleases many players and is very different from ours.”
