Didier Deschamps will probably sleep better tonight. After a failed month of June, and a late summer polluted by business, the Blues recovered against Austria, Thursday, September 22. Thanks to its 2-0 victory, the France team overtook its evening opponent and returned to its Nations League group.

Inevitably, the coach was happy after the meeting. “I am very satisfied with the content. We had a lot of chances and a lot of controlexplained Didier Deschamps at the microphone of M6 at the final whistle. We had little time to prepare for this match but there are a lot of positive points. There were intentions and everyone made the effort, even when we didn’t have the ball.”

Among the satisfactions, the French coach noted the performances of the two neophytes in blue, the Monegasques Benoît Badiashile and Youssouf Fofana: “They have the technical quality, not the experience. But you have to give it to them. They are well supervised by the other players. It’s a great performance from the France team”.

Asked about his relationship with Fofana, his ex-teammate on the Rock, midfielder Aurélien Tchouameni underlined their good understanding on the ground. “It went very well with Youssouf. You could see the complementarity we have, dropped the one who now plays at Real Madrid. It’s been a few weeks since we played together but nothing’s changed. I’m happy for him”.

The international with 13 selections also mentioned the difficult context around the France team marked by the revelations about the FFF and the Pogba affair: “The conditions are not optimal with everything that is happening at the moment but the most important thing is the pitch”. The Blues will have to finish the job against Denmark on Sunday to ensure their retention in the Nations League elite. An opponent they will find on November 26 for their second in the World Cup.
