2021-11-12T16:51:11.110Z


The coach of the Blues faced the media on the eve of returning to Kazakhstan on Saturday evening as part of the qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup.


The ticket for Qatar 2022 to pick up


“I say this every time we start a qualifying campaign: it's long and perilous. If we can validate our ticket before the last day, we must not deprive ourselves. The main thing is to be qualified, it's up to us instead of waiting for the last match in Finland (Tuesday). For us, the important thing is to achieve another objective among the three (Euro, League of Nations) that we had during this year 2021. The France team must be at the World Cup. Beyond the footballing quality, there is a mental strength and a state of mind in this team. We lost it for 10 minutes (at the Euro) and we paid for it. We obviously have room for improvement. Without disrespecting Kazakhstan,we have to do the job tomorrow (Saturday). "

Benzema's state of health


“He did not do a collective session, but very good sessions apart, especially on Thursday.

Having the game on Saturday allowed us to take no risks and Karim has enough experience to know how to manage himself.

He will participate in the session and will be available for tomorrow (Saturday).

No problem.

Coman's temptation as a straight piston


“The sessions are in camera, but you know what's going on there (laughs). It is an option. This is valid for many matches and obviously it depends on the opponent. For Kingsley, it requires in this balance of power adjustments on the defensive aspect, on the coverage of areas. Kingsley may be an option. (On Benjamin Pavard and his faculty to occupy the post of piston) If I call him, you have the answer… That he is in difficulty on a match, it can happen. Between playing sideways with four or piston on the right, at times it is the same role. Benjamin knows he is not in the best period of his career, he knows it. Piston or right rear, it changes its positioning a bit, but I don'thave no problem seeing him at this post. "

The physique of Kanté, absent with the Blues since the Euro


“Like any coach, regardless of the system, it is better to have 'NG' on your team, because you're better when he's there. He has had a series of small physical problems, he has less chain, he has his little baby face but is not 20 years old, in addition he does not save himself in the field. He has no problem, I found him good during the week. I spoke with him about it, when his club wins a game by a large margin, he does not slow down or manage his efforts. It is like that ... Far too many people hide the fact that athletes in general and footballers in particular, who have been affected by the Covid, not necessarily with symptoms, do not come back with a snap of their fingers. Compared to what they have had, there are no studies or hindsight yet, but the top athlete, evenhe is an athlete, sees his body being weakened with this Covid. If not already by the isolation of 15 days, when you come back, it takes time to find the fullness of its means. "
