Didier Deschamps (coach of the France team, after the announcement of the postponement of the Euro) : “UEFA has decided to postpone Euro 2020 for a year. It is a wise decision, given the devastation that the Covid-19 is causing all over the planet. For all of us, the priority is elsewhere. Let us think of those who suffer and of all those who, unfortunately, are likely to suffer in the days or weeks to come. More than ever, it is important to have a sense of priorities, responsibilities and good citizenship. The only game to win is the one we are currently playing against Coronavirus. More than ever, we will all have to show solidarity, rigor, discipline. This match concerns us all and not only health professionals. All those who are currently mobilized to save lives deserve not only our gratitude but also our support. To help them, let's start by scrupulously respecting the instructions given to us. Protect yourself by staying at home as much as possible. Protecting yourself also means protecting others. ” (communicated)
