So, are we not good here? Relaxed everywhere at the idea that after two World Cup matches, the France team is the only nation in the competition to have two victories and to be already assured of seeing the color of the round of 16 . Sunday was a day after victory, so the program was light, like this Journal des Bleus (the nice excuse).
Les Bleus acclaimed on Saturday evening
After their great success against Denmark, the Blues were welcomed like rock stars in their hotel in Al Messila. Images that recall others, in Russia not to mention them. We remember how it ended. But shh, we promised to wait a bit before taking the boulard. We do like our players, concentration, seriousness and humility.
The hairdressers in action
While the central subject for the next few days will be, not whether Deschamps will rotate against Tunisia on Wednesday, but rather in what width, the substitutes and the players who did not come into play on Saturday were entitled to a small friendly match against the local team of Al-Ahli (Qatari D1) as a preparation. Result, 2-0 victory for Les Bleus bis with goals from Marcus Thuram and Mattéo Guendouzi on peno. As in the previous friendly hairdressers match, Eduardo Camavinga moved to the left-back position since there is no one left to occupy this position of lining since the injury of Lucas Hernandez, replaced in the XI by brother Theo. To see if DD will go so far as to put the former Rennes entry to this position, which would be a huge curiosity for once.
Theo plays for Lucas
Uncomfortable (and the word is weak) in front of the media, Theo Hernandez however, did not cut it after the success against the Danes. Asked about his big brother’s injury on Sunday, the Milanese, who was very good on Saturday at the 974 stadium, for once did not need to force himself to talk to us. “I play for both, he explained from the start. When the coach called me, he was proud for me. I too was proud to be with him for a World Cup. Then there was this very bad news. It’s not easy for him, his injury is very long. When I replaced it, it was not easy for me either. I saw him on the ground, I was not very well. But then I did what I had to do. I wanted to celebrate this victory for my brother. »
The program of the day
While Saturday’s starters were content with a light cleaning the next day, Monday the group is back in full for a training session fully open to the press. Before that, it’s the turn of Jules Koundé and Jordan Veretout to go to the board.
