“ Heavy“. The term came up numerous times to describe the atmosphere during the traditional pre-match press briefings on Wednesday, on the eve of this Nations League meeting betweenFrench team and Israel, scheduled for this Thursday evening (kick-off at 8:45 p.m.).
While the geopolitical context is marked by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, security measures around this meeting have been increased tenfold. “We know what to expect. These are the reasons that are more annoying or even more so. The observation is this. That’s how it is. I’m going to bring out the usual word: adapt. Focus on what we need to do on the ground“, explained Didier Deschamps.
“Make sure it remains a football match”
The Stade de France, which is full during all the selection’s matches, should only be a quarter full. An anti-intrusion system is also provided at the foot of the stands to prevent any attempt to invade the lawn. It was installed Thursday evening.
“ We made sure to prepare for this match as normally as possible. Throughout the France group, no one can be insensitive to a context that is heavy and heavy. But we try to keep it a football match“concluded Deschamps.
