This Monday, Lucas Digne was in a press conference by video two days before the Euro 2021 match against Portugal that the left side should not play.
“I look good.
We play at 3 pm, ”he began by joking.
Was athletic preparation well managed before the competition?
LUCAS DIGNE.
Yes, very good, we saw it in the first game.
The conditions were special against Hungary, it was very hot.
No one has had cramps, it's a sign that we're gaining momentum.
What are the consequences of Ousmane Dembélé's package?
The whole group is very sad and very disappointed because he is a great guy and a great player.
It's a very big disappointment for us.

What are your memories of France-Portugal in the final of Euro 2016?
It was a very bad day.
The group then showed great strength of character by winning the World Cup and we won in Portugal afterwards.
We showed our qualities.
How is Benjamin Pavard in difficulty in this Euro?
Benjamin is fine.
We talked after the game, he's fine.
I'm not worried, he's used to being under pressure.
He is a very great player and we are happy to have him.
What is the hierarchy on the left between you and Lucas Hernandez?
The coach did not tell us about hierarchy.
He makes his decisions the day before the match, like all club coaches.
Do you think you can overthrow it?
I don't ask myself that question.
I give everything to training, like all players who want to play.
I prepare myself as well as possible.
I would like this post to become a puzzle for him.
Do you have internal debates on Karim Benzema?
No, at no time is it discussed.
No one is affected.
We have known his quality for a long time at Real Madrid.
He moves a lot, he is very mobile.
When the first goal arrives, it will be like the tap, as Antoine Griezmann said.
There are zero questions on the subject.
How to contain Cristiano Ronaldo this Wednesday?
How do you see his career?
When you're a defender, it's everyone's business because he moves a lot.
You always have to keep an eye on him, not to leave any spaces.
Its longevity is extraordinary.
It is a working example for all players.

Did you hear the racist cries against Paul Pogba and N'Golo Kanté during Hungary - France?
Personally, I did not hear because of the noise.
If UEFA conducts an investigation, I hope that the people in question will be severely sanctioned.
And the atmosphere, how was it otherwise?
I had a sore throat from screaming.
It's football as everyone loves it.
It's football.
It is good for everyone.
How do you cope with the health bubble and living in isolation?
My family will not come to the game because my children are small.
My little one is 5 months old and my big one is two years old.
Explain to him that I cannot kiss him, it would be a lot of sadness so he better stay with his sister and mother at home.
It's not easy to be away from your family.
We are all aware of the objective in this Euro.
Our family at the moment is the group.
We are all united for each other.
The position of side is it very hard in the system of the Blues without a winger?
It is not easy. We have to defend well and attack a lot. This requires even greater physical effort than in other positions, even if it depends on the physiognomy of the match as well. Sometimes you have to defend more. The laterals must adapt, when the attackers are on the inside, they must take the width. Against Germany, we defended more and we adapted to Germany's three-way defense.
