Didier Deschamps

 : Denmark, by what it achieves through its career and its ranking, semi-finalist of the last Euro, 11th in the Fifa ranking in front of many European nations, so a lot of respect for them.

The fact that we meet twice before the World Cup (in the League of Nations in June and September, editor's note), I don't know if it's an advantage.

But if it is for us, it is also for our opponents.

Tunisia, we haven't played it for a long time, with many players who have gone to France, in French clubs, or who play in Europe.

And we will wait for the last unknown (the winning team of the intercontinental play-off, between Peru and the winner of Australia-United Arab Emirates, editor's note).

(...) I don't have to be satisfied with the draw, I accept it.

After,

If you project yourself a little, your group D will cross in the eighth with group C, which promises to be dense with Argentina in particular, which you could find...


Project yourself, for the moment I am waiting to have the details of the (group) matches, I know it's November 22, 26, 30. I don't know the schedules, I don't know one of the opponents .

After the screening, yes it will be group C, we don't know who or how.

But to think about that you have to achieve the first objective, to make sure in this group that you are in the two who will have the chance and the privilege to continue.

There is an exciting side to being there (at the draw), of course, it's the first time I've come to Doha... Feeling the atmosphere, going to visit the base camp... C It's a solemn moment each time, in addition I had the privilege of bringing the trophy personally and to represent my players who won this title.

It's a lot of pride

and we have to say to ourselves that we have already had answers, even if they are not complete today.

But the excitement will rise, of course.

During your coronation in Russia, you were isolated in nature in Istra.

This time you will be in town in Doha, can that change things?


The specificity of Qatar is that the distances are very short, so we are practically all the time in town.

The federation teams started scouting in October 2019, like many nations.

First come, first served.

We had two options like all countries, the stay since yesterday (Thursday) was used for that, and then there was the validation of my president to have good conditions.

We have land available which is the equivalent of the L1, that's very, very good, and where we'll be staying, finding peace without being completely isolated either, apart from you of course (laughs ).

And then rather short distances, with the specificity that we are going to spend a lot of time in our base camp, there is no hotel transfer, no
