The France team is preparing to compete in Euro 2024. On Wednesday, Didier Deschamps was at a press conference and gave a first mission to his players.
The big moment is approaching. While Euro 2024 will begin on June 14, the gathering of the French team began this Wednesday near Clairefontaine. On this occasion, Didier Deschamps appeared in front of journalists to discuss the news of the selection and the upcoming deadlines. The coach spoke in particular about what he expected of his men during the Euro organized in Germany.
Before even talking about victory, the final or even the last four, the French tactician talked about the first round. A potentially tricky group phase for the Blues, even if their status should a priori protect them from any unpleasant surprises against their opponents who will be Austria (June 17), the Netherlands (June 21) and Poland (25 June). Still tough competition, and a first objective set by Didier Deschamps.
Win the first two matches
“ The ideal situation is that we can be qualified after two matches, or even be sure of being first in the group. This was not the case every time. » And the 2018 world champion on the French bench continued: “ Having the assurance of being qualified means that the first two matches were successful. The goal is to win first and second. » The mission is therefore very clear for Kylian Mbappé and his teammates: do what is necessary to win against the Austrians and the Dutch.
And as is often the case after two victories in the group stage, the coach will have the opportunity to rotate his squad during the third and final meeting, supposed to be the simplest against the Poles. The roadmap is therefore known for this first round. It is up to the Blues to respect it as best as possible.
