Didier Deschamps was at a press conference this Monday afternoon.
After the intervention of captain Hugo Lloris, the coach announced that he could count on a whole group for the entry into contention of the Blues on Tuesday night in Munich, against Germany.
He expects a committed match, with a lot of duels and expects his troops to respond by being effective in the areas of truth.
Hugo Lloris made great saves on the last France-Germany.
How much can that matter tomorrow?
DIDIER DESCHAMPS.
They know the qualities of Hugo, as we know the qualities of Neuer who is one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
The less Hugo will be in demand, the better it will obviously be.
But the team knows they can count on him.
German players emphasized the notion of combat.
Are you prepared for this?
The high level is an athletic fight too.
There will be engagement, duels. The Germans are prepared for this, and so are we.
In high level matches, technique makes the difference but there is always a total commitment on the part of both teams.
This will be the case tomorrow.
Are you going to change the game of your full-backs by asking them to be less offensive?
Not necessarily.
It all depends on the position, but I'll let them have the freedom they always had.
There is a balance to be had, but the contribution of the laterals is important, I have no intention of slowing them down.
What is the plan to block the German attack?
Ask Joachim Löw what is the plan to block ours!
Obviously, they have individual qualities, with positions that are not fixed.
Havertz, Gnabry who is able to drop out or go deep.
Werner and even Sané have different qualities.
We will see which three players will start tomorrow at home.

We will try to limit their influence in their positioning, and especially the collective aspect in relation to what they are used to doing.
What mistakes should be avoided in order not to miss this first match?
The first game is important but not decisive.
Like Germany, we will have two games behind, but the quality of the opponent makes it a shock entry.
It's a shock for us but also for the Germans because we are one of the best European nations.
Efficiency will have to be sought in both areas.
This is where it will play out.
Did you choose the identity of the penalty taker?
I am not going to give you details on this subject for the simple reason that if I give you information, I also give it to the opponent.
What happened to Dane Christian Eriksen
makes you fear the worst?
We don't live with that.
This is one of the critical situations that can arise.
I am not a doctor.
I am also not persuaded that it is linked to the sequence of matches.
Medicine will surely give answers to the exams that Eriksen will pass.
It is impossible to anticipate that, we have seen the very short time with which the medical service reacted.
This is certainly what kept Eriksen in stable condition today.
I wish him and his family that he gets better and better.
