Back to school day. Far from the tumult of the year 2024, The Blues will find Clairefontaine in a peaceful atmosphere. The announcement of the withdrawal of Didier Deschamps after 2026 and the scheduled return of Kylian Mbappé brought back a wind of serenity in the environment of the French team.
It is in this healthier atmosphere that the Blues tackle this 2025, which will draw the road for the US World Cup next year. A course which will be marked in particular by the League of Nations, and the emergence of some new heads.
They apply to replace Antoine Griezmann
This Thursday, Didier Deschamps will unveil his list for the gathering of this first international truce in March. It could include some new heads. With the international retirement of Antoine Griezmann, the Blues are in search of creativity. And in this register, there is no shortage of applicants.
We think in particular of Désiré Doué, who continues to take steps with Paris Saint-Germain, in Ligue 1 as in the Champions League. His friends from the French Hopes team also have a card to play, like Rayan Cherki, author of his best season with Olympique Lyonnais, or Maghnes Akliouche, brilliant with AS Monaco. Finally, still in the midfield, the young prodigy of Losc Ayyoub Bouaddi could quickly disembark if he continues to show so much maturity from the age of 17.
