His view of the three new
"Benoît Badiashile is one of the Espoirs, he is having a very good start to the season with AS Monaco, the fact that he is a specialist in the left central position (is important), but there are also wounded.
He is a young player who is progressing.
Youssouf Fofana we follow him in midfield, a sector with competition.
On what he did last season and this year in Monaco, he is a complete midfielder, he also takes advantage of the absences in this sector of play, he will be with us.
Randal (Kolo Muani) continues to confirm what he had done very well with FC Nantes in an attacking profile, also with depth and efficiency.
He has many qualities.

His hopes of seeing Pogba at the World Cup
"I can't say anything.
It's impossible.
Through the intervention and the protocol, I can say that it is going well yes.
Afterwards, there is a short or long return period.
I know Paul very well, I talk to him regularly, he will do everything to come back as soon as possible without certainty.
No one, him or me, can say whether or not he will be fit for the World Cup.
He must already be cured… Since I've been here, I've never taken a player for a tournament if a player isn't recovered.
Paul has respect for himself, he's not a "geo", he's not there to amuse the gallery.
I don't have the answers today (about his presence at the World Cup).
Raphaël Varane in 2016 had a muscle injury and he was not called up (for the Euro).
Thereupon he does
there will be no development.
The players called must be fit on the field and 100%.
Paul won't come if he's not fit.
He doesn't want that either and even if he wanted it, it's me who would say no.
It is not conceivable.

Didier Deschamps, about maraboutage
His opinion on the Pogba affair
“I am never worried, of a calm and serene nature.
I exchanged with Paul, I do it regularly.
Don't ask me to intervene in the stories created, recreated... Justice is doing its job... Despite everything, he is a solid person, who has character, he is focused on the field, which will bring him to return to give themselves the means to recover.
(his gaze on the maraboutage) I live on the same planet as you, it's something that's been around for a long time.
Everyone has this freedom of belief, I don't have a problem with that.
I'm not here to judge, if it makes some people feel better psychologically, why not.
It's part of the sports environment.

If his thinking has evolved on Giroud, summoned when Benzema is absent
“(smile) Olivier is there, you will know it at the World Cup (if he has evolved on the subject).
Everything evolves, but the situation today is that.

“At least he's not tired.
You have to see the bright side of things (smile).
He has a situation that you know, and today it limits his playing time. This evolution of football (on the clauses), I adapt.
The important thing for me is that the players know that I am supportive and attentive.
So that it is a plus for the France team.

Didier Deschamps on the accusations against Le Graët
If the Blues will have a group of 26 at the World Cup
“I'm not going to answer you, I still have time.
I can tell you one thing, it is more difficult to win matches at 26 than at 23. So there you are going to interpret (smile)…”
Three or four defense for the Blues in Qatar?
“I can do everything and I adapt.
Nothing is fixed either but despite the absences, I want to put the players in the conditions of what I intend to do during the World Cup.
Even if there is always the possibility of fitting out or changing.

If Le Graët has to resign as president of the FFF
“Really, you are not cold in the eyes.
We don't have the same readings.
It's not my domain.
I spoke at length with my president yesterday, what else do you want me to tell you?
If I refer only to the sports part and realize that so much false information and which are lies, and become nonsense over time….
The president is fine, is in great shape.
After each one interprets “it seems, it would seem”.
Today, it is difficult to sort out.
It's not the most peaceful climate I know.
You're not going to like it, but today I find that we're too instantaneous, with a lot of buzz, in the fact of asserting truths that are not.
I can assure you that the unity and strength internally is there.
Everything is under control but I don't know what can happen.
We have to face it.
