Nations League: schedule and results
Which French team on Sunday in Denmark?
"I'm going to make changes, I haven't decided and I won't decide tonight (Saturday), I'm waiting for the return of the players, their feelings, the opinion of the medical staff.
I will not change for the sake of changing.
There will be, I'm not going to tell you how many (smile).
The objective remains the same, we are here to make a performance.
His view of the massacre of the Blues
“Ousmane (Dembélé) felt discomfort in the calf, he will train separately.
For the others it will be a short session (this Saturday in Copenhagen).
If there is an advantage, it is for the players who are there and will have the opportunity to start or enter during the game. The absentees will not have this possibility.
Everyone will have their analysis and their truth, but the next meeting (at the World Cup between the two nations), whether it's me or my Danish colleague, it will necessarily be another match.
We know each other well, we will have met twice before playing in the World Cup.
The Danes are playing a place in the Final Four, we want to win it and not go down.

His opinion on the return to form of Varane
“Raphael has been part of this team for a while, with experience, even if he missed the Euro in 2016. He was there in 2012 for my first match in Le Havre against Uruguay.
He has his career, his leadership, he is expressive.
He had a few injuries with his club, but with good preparation, he returned to his team, exuding serenity.
Whether in Manchester or in the France team, he has an important place.
Areola holder against Denmark?
“He will be a starter.
When I can (provide information), I say yes (smile).
Everyone will have their own perception, I see goalkeepers who are not club starters and are in selection.
Alphonse has lived with us, not necessarily a huge experience in the field even if he was often called.
It is a specific preparation to return to the break.
Apart from a poorly controlled outing on Thursday evening, he was there.
He is there because he has the quality.

“I have time to reflect and I have a certain margin.
If I think it's better… But that's not why we'll be stronger.
There are still only 11 spots left in the field.
I still have time, if I have everyone available, I can take a little more.
Varane and Mbappé in support of Giroud
“He has a lot of support Olivier (smile) and so much the better because he deserves it.
Don't interpret what I'm going to say but I'm not implicating the players in selecting or not selecting a player.
It is not their role.
So much the better for Olivier (if he receives praise), it's up to him to maintain this level... I know what he's capable of doing, he has affinities with certain players more than others, he's always had a collective spirit and… That’s it (smile).“
