Thursday March 18, Didier Deschamps, the coach of the Blues, will accomplish his media return by communicating his first list of the year 2021. Less than three months before the start of the Euro (June 11-July 11), where the champions of the world appear in Group F with Germany, Portugal and Hungary, this list of 23 names, or even a little more, will necessarily be scrutinized and interpreted.
By then, the Basque technician and his team are working on the next rally, which will see the France team enter its qualification phase for the 2022 World Cup, with the reception of Ukraine, on March 24 at the Stade de France, then trips to Kazakhstan on the 28th and to Bosnia-Herzegovina on the 31st.
Since Monday and until Wednesday, the staff of the France team, a total of 19 people, is thus gathered in a seminar at Clairefontaine to prepare for these next deadlines for the Blues.
Also on the menu is the next European Championship.
“Our seminar usually takes place in January
(Editor's note: in the south-east of France)
.
Due to the health crisis, we had to postpone it for a few weeks but I wanted it to take place, explains Deschamps on the FFF website.
This seminar is an important moment for the staff, in terms of planning, preparation and programming, regardless of the pleasure which is ours to meet again and to share three days together.
The seminar will end on Wednesday.
