Didier Deschamps on the tactics of the Blues against Croatia: "It's interesting to be able to vary the systems"

The national coach returned this Sunday during the press conference on the system changes since the start of the League


After 3 games without a win (two draws and a defeat) during this rally, France must win this Monday at the Stade de France against Croatia or risk not qualifying for the Final Four or even getting dangerously close in 2nd. division.

Coach Didier Deschamps was calm at a press conference this Sunday despite the urgency of winning this first victory in the competition.

Is it annoying to make some players hear that sometimes it's better not to play?

DIDIER DESCHAMPS.

Nothing annoys me.

I'm adapting so as not to take any risks with certain players who have minor problems, as is the case today.

I adapt the system according to the players present.

We are at the end of the season, with fatigue plus small problems.

The idea was to give playing time. It's a good thing.

The truth of the moment will not be that of September.

You have worked defense at 5 for the past few months.

Why go back to 4 on the last matches?

I have not changed my mind.

There are different options.

I want to put the eleven who start in the best possible conditions.

The France team does not have a single system.

You can also change during matches.

It's not because we haven't played 3 behind in the last two games that this system has been thrown away.

How will we play in the next ones?

We'll see.

It is also interesting to be able to vary.

We are less predictable for the opponent.

How's the team?

Are there any bugs?

Three players will stay inside (note: train indoors): Theo Hernandez, William Saliba and Moussa Diaby.

Bouba Kamara and Karim Benzema will train away and the others will have a short session.

Mike Maignan will he play his 2nd meeting of the rally?

Yes.

I had planned to rotate between Hugo and Mike.

I stay on it.

Regarding recovery, it was better for Hugo to play the first and third game and Mike for the second and last.

I am very happy to benefit from two very good goalkeepers.

We don't know what can happen.

It's good to give this opportunity to Mike to play again.

He will have played more there on this rally than for a year and a half with us.

Will Kylian Mbappé play?

What is your reflection?

I manage with Kylian.

I have discussions and then I make the decision.

It was planned to be 30 minutes in Austria.

Tomorrow (Monday) is the last match.

We must combine all our forces to win this last match with Kylian and the others.

We will see tomorrow.

How do you manage to manage these 4 matches in 10 days?

I do with.

I will not complain.

Maybe we are more affected than other selections.

Some are tired, others are a little decompressed, some have glitches, 3 have left the group (Varane, Kanté, Lucas Hernandez)… Playing four games during this period increases the difficulties.

The objective is to go for the victory tomorrow.

What differentiates Nkunku and Griezmann?

They are two different profiles.

Nkunku is more attacking than Antoine who prefers to be in the construction and animation of the game.

Do you see Jonathan Clauss as a piston?

Jonathan has the qualities of a piston.

The requirements are not the same in a defense at 4. He can do it.

But the objective is not to put him in difficulty.

Defending with 4 does not require the same work.

Why will Presnel Kimpembe be captain again against Croatia?

He is a fighter, a leader.

He has lived with us for some time.

He is expressive.

He played his part well on Monday.

It's up to him to repeat.
