When you are preparing for a World Cup at home, with the ambition of winning it of course, all the advice is good to take. From this point of view, those of Didier Deschamps, captain of the Blues of football in 1998 and coach twenty years later during the second world coronation, are surely those among the most precious. This is how DD paid a visit to the rugby friends on Monday in Monaco.
He was able to chat with his counterpart Fabien Galthié and attend training, before “sharing his experience” during a discussion with the players, as the FFR writes on its social networks.
The coach did not leave empty-handed, since he was offered a jersey signed by the whole team on behalf of the captain, Antoine Dupont. After this internship in Monaco, the XV of France will begin a new phase of its preparation in Marcoussis, from July 24 to August 3, before going to Capbreton for three weeks. The opening match is scheduled for September 8, against New Zealand, at the Stade de France.
