A list of 24 for the next gathering
: “We have three matches, the first two are in France (
France-Ukraine on October 7, France-Portugal on October 11, Croatia-France on the 14th)
, we can recall players if there is has a problem during the internship.
And I won't hide from you that having an even larger list poses logistical difficulties.
In addition, there are only 23 names on the scoresheet ... Humanly, it's not very pleasant to leave players in the stands. "
Three matches
: “I'm not going to say it's too much.
We adapt.
There was already rotation at the last stage, it will still be the case.
The positive aspect is that the players will have more playing time.
UEFA had the very good idea to go back to five changes, it is very important for the physical integrity of the players.
This allows the coaches to concern more players.
It would be a good decision to maintain this during the Euro ... The calendars are obviously very busy.
After the camp, the weeks will be busy with three matches per week.
As we know, this is nothing new.
This is the opportunity to have one more game.
We will adapt, juggle with that.
But the players prefer to play than to train.
I'm not going to say that three matches is a lot.
They are there.
We will take them as they present themselves. "
Meet on Monday at Clairefontaine to prepare for the 3 matches that await us!

Paul Pogba back
: "The first unhappy one is him, because Paul is very attached to the France team, with everything he has experienced in this jersey ... He knows the place he has in this group.
But before the Covid problem he had at the last rally, he had a very complicated last season, injuries, surgery ... These are never very pleasant moments.
But there is always the contact that is there, the frustration and the lack for him obviously, not to be with his friends and at the gatherings.
He has always been very happy to join the group.
I think that will be the case there too.
So much the better, that's good.
It's been 16 months, that's a lot.
In the end, he didn't miss that many matches.
But compared to his importance in the group, I admit that I prefer to have him available, with his partners. ”
Eduardo Camavinga settles in
: “He has the ability, despite his young age, to do things very well.
Beyond his enthusiasm, he is able to do things that others may not do well.
Especially in the use of the ball.
He has this ability, in all his ball catches, his orientations, the quality of his passes.
In addition, the volume of play is very interesting because it is important and also quite versatile.
He's not bothered with the ball at all.
When you have it, it's already a good thing ... When you don't have it, it's harder to acquire it.
He has it all.
There are stages.
The day after the rally was a bit complicated for him.
These are obligatory passages.
From the moment I took him the first time on what he has done and what he is capable of doing, it seems logical to me that he is still with us in the short, medium term.
Obviously, he has the whole future ahead of him.
He still has room for improvement.
But what he is able to do today is already very interesting. ”

The absent
: “Fernand Mendy and Moussa Sissoko?
I took 24 players.
These are choices, there is competition.
I will not go into detail.
The pros and cons and it is my responsibility to decide.
They could have been called, as they had been in September.
Others are concerned.
It's the same with every list.
Unless I take a list of 30 or 35, the positions are at least doubled.
Téji Savanier?
He is an interesting player, surprising for what he has been able to do in the last two to three matches with Montpellier.
It is also decisive.
It concerns a very good fifty players.
Blaise Matuidi?
MLS can be of a good standard.
I watch Ligue 1 and the major European leagues.
In some matches, I say to myself "today, it's not all fun and the ball doesn't laugh all the time" (smile).
There too, with the specificity of this championship.
Blaise went there, it's a choice of career and life.
He knows that taking this decision is more complicated compared to the France group.
I am not going to say a categorical no.
But there is competition too.
But he remains a high level player. ”
The 3-5-2 seen during the last stage
: “It's a system that has advantages.
It all depends on the opponent and the opposite system.
But whatever system I use, my number one goal is always the same: to put the opponent in the most difficulty and allow us to be as dangerous as possible.
It all depends on the opposition.
To say it would be a more defensive system with three or five behind, no, it all depends on the players.
In 4-4-2 for example, if you have two attackers or two midfielders in the lanes, it is not the same 4-4-2.
It's an endless debate, with so many different options. ”
Olivier Giroud's 100th selection
: “It represents longevity at the highest level.
He may have arrived later than some of the others.
But we should not take away this merit, with situations not always easy in his clubs.
In the France team, he was very often efficient.
He is one of the important players by way of life, experience.
He is advancing in age, but from the moment he maintains his level ... Of course, he does not start every game with Chelsea, but there is competition in a big club.
The important thing is to keep the pace.
Olivier has this mind.
It wasn't always easy for him.
There have been quite a few unfair things that have been said about what he has done, what he is capable of doing.
If some expect him to dribble three or four opponents, it is not his register.
But even when it was not always decisive, it was important for the collective game of the France team, as at the World Cup. "
