“Here too, this is one of the subjects that I have to deal with with the players, but here too in a very constructive spirit on both sides, it was almost not a subject. The grants paid by the UEFA on the occasion of this Euro are almost the same as those of the previous Euro As there is no change, we have renewed the provisions which had been planned for the previous Euro. the tournament is much more lucrative for the organizers, the federation will not benefit in particular from it.”

“I think that there were a certain number of examinations carried out on site to see the condition of Mbappé’s nose. They drew a certain number of fairly rapid conclusions. They made sure to limit the consequences. This happened last night. There is no surgery planned in the short term. We are waiting for developments to see the conditions for Mabppé’s participation in the tournament.

“You may have noticed that in the positions which some targeted a party, others which spoke of the extremes in the broad sense, there are perhaps also clarifications to be had on the trajectories on which the players would like to intervene. I will say it again one last time, I am the guarantor of their freedom of expression. But what I tell them is to ensure that there is always concern for unity. implement the ideas that bring the French together. We have the chance to in a certain way provide a haven of peace and unity for the French. I am very attached to the fact that it is preserved.

“I introduced myself to you because it is customary for a federation president to come and present himself to the press. As I have seen a lot of reactions, it is also an opportunity for me to clarify things and to remove any ambiguity on what the position of the Federation is. We must not imagine putting a point between the Federation and the players. I think, unless it is denied, that we have created a dialogue which has allowed us. to resolve a certain number of questions, I am thinking of image rights, to find a communion of thoughts on transport. There is complementarity in our positions, we are moving forward in step.

“They have such media power, such influence over part of our youth that in their positions, they must be vigilant about attempts at recovery which are exacerbated in this period. This is an element that I reminded them But as they are responsible boys I think they take care of it. They have pointed out the obvious when they remind us of what our values ​​are. When they do it, I am in full communion of thought with them.

“The players have opinions, I have opinions. But my responsibility is to put them aside to defend the institution and defend the French team. All the sensitivities of French society are within the Federation. I I think they would not understand if I removed the Federation from this duty of neutrality. In my position, this duty is necessary. If unfortunately for our country tomorrow a certain number of yellow lines were to be crossed, the federation would take its responsibilities. .”

“I consider that when they express themselves, they do so on an individual basis. I do not want there to be any political recovery whatever the parties. The French team belongs to all French people, I do not want that it be instrumentalized. This is the line that I have set for myself.”

“I try to establish a regular dialogue with the players to ensure that there is an understanding of everyone’s initiatives. I am aware of a possible initiative from the players at this stage but do not have any the content. In what form and with what time frame? I am not able to answer this question.”

“No feeling of failure. I first want to thank the French clubs who said yes. We have a team with quality players. We suffered a certain number of refusals, but we expected that. Also strength to note that clubs have played the game in France and abroad We continue because the submission of the final list is on July 3, we continue to convince to have the best possible team. Everyone will judge the matches.

“Not the first time that players have expressed themselves on a certain number of subjects. I am not encouraging them but I guarantee their freedom of expression. We have generations who are interested in what is happening in society , we should be happy about it. The link with the French remains very strong.

“We are respectful of republican treatment, I am not a party leader. The French will choose. As a federal institution, we will be respectful of the vote of the French.”

Didier Deschamps complained about it last night.

“In principle, when I arrived, I wanted the Federation to be part of a form of modernity on a certain number of subjects which fuel society’s reflections. Here, with regard to travel, it is also a constraint linked to the organization, there are no night flights in Germany.”

“I don’t think there is any problem. I don’t see things that way. I was clear in this matter by talking with the players. I had informed them beforehand. All of this is being done in full harmony I have always said that I guarantee freedom of expression to players. They are young men who have a view on society. It is not up to me to restrict their wish to express themselves on a certain number of subjects. which concerns their generation Some players have gone further in their positions, I simply respect it I am president of a Federation I am not party leader and I have no voting instructions to give to the French. My position is perfectly complementary. The institution cannot have the same freedom of speech as its players.

“The news was rather reassuring in that there is no operation in the short term. Regarding his participation in the rest of the tournament, it is a little premature to give a timetable.”
