9:08 p.m. : Worldcup. ??
9:08 p.m. : A dream come true @equipedefrance ??❤️
9:08 p.m. : Always a dream to play the biggest competition with my country. ??? @equipedefrance
9:08 p.m. : Several players called up by Didier Deschamps share their joy of going to Qatar on social networks.
9:03 p.m. : Well, let’s talk little, let’s talk well: on paper, wouldn’t this be the weakest midfielder in the history of the French team in the World Cup?
9:11 p.m. : The fears of observers are concentrated in midfield, where it is true that this is the line where the French team appears weakest.
9:00 p.m. : 25 players, only 2 with OL. (Only 1 trained at the club) The last left 12 years ago. Sacred downgrading.
9:11 p.m. : In the series “it was better before”, the supporters of Lyon are gray tonight.
8:57 p.m. : It’s an indisputable sign of the impoverishment of the L1, but in the France team, it’s a problem that is around thirty years old. In 1995, Aimé Jacquet put down on paper an eleven composed solely of players belonging to French clubs, against Norway. Five years later, Roger Lemerre composed a team playing 100% abroad for a 4-0 demonstration in Turkey. Since the turn of the 21st century, foreign clubs have been the biggest suppliers of players to the Blues, because French clubs can no longer retain them.
8:56 p.m. : Note that only 6 selected players play in league 1! Is this a sign of weakness in Ligue 1 or of the very good level of French players who are exporting well?
8:55 p.m. : OK, I just looked at the selected players. Am I the only one to have a big (but then really big) apprehension for the midfielders? I think the absence of N’Golo Kanté will be felt…
8:53 p.m. : I always had the impression that Karim Benzema was better when there was a credible substitute on the bench, and in this perspective the selection of Olivier Giroud is undoubtedly a very good thing, in addition to giving a joker in case of injury or folded match. On the other hand I do not understand why not to have pushed the cursor to 26 players…
8:52 p.m. : Do not hesitate, as @Football fanto give us your feelings on this list (in reinforced concrete) of Didier Deschamps.
8:51 p.m. : @Foufoot We will talk about it again when we have Adrien Rabiot who will help out at left-back, as has already happened to him. Do you know what Eduardo Camavinga is worth at right back? We only have one full-back in this list.
8:49 p.m. : Santa Claus stuck in the chimney, it’s not the end of the world huh!
8:46 p.m. : Despite all my love for Jonathan Clauss, I think that going back to 4 behind in a more cautious system will make it possible to secure a French team which was very fragile with two pistons. It can also help to secure a fairly light midfield (we’re going to Rabiot-Tchouaméni, it’s not all-risk insurance). It is only in attack or in goal that we start with established certainties. In these conditions, we risk going on the Blues with a cautious approach who will not be there to send the game.
8:47 p.m. : What do you think of the Pierre list? I think it’s a pretty good list.
8:44 p.m. : Why don’t you take 26 players, there you deprive yourself like a big one of a side. And given what happened at the Euro where you found yourself with Rabiot left back, it’s a good bullshit.
8:47 p.m. : Among the notable absentees, therefore, in addition to Jonathan Clauss, to whom we will come back, note also the Monegasque Wissam Ben Yedder, the Nantes or ex-Nantes Alban Lafont and Randall Kolo Muani, as well as the Madrilenian Ferland Mendy.
Internet users are surprised that Didier Deschamps has deprived himself of one more player to open up options, since he was entitled to 26 names on his list.
8:38 p.m. : But how Veretout was able to pass in front of Guendouzi (essential in club for a year and a half and regularly called in EDF) and Camavinga (generational crack who digests his transfer to Real)? By what intellectual process? Really there is not a scenario where I understand.
8:38 p.m. : Veretout present to ensure the quota of OM world champion players with 5 minutes of cumulative playing time in the competition ?
8:38 p.m. : One of the big surprises on the list is the presence of Jordan Veretout, OM’s defensive midfielder who hadn’t really sparked since the start of the season.
8:35 p.m. : As a reminder, with our friend Raphaël Godet, we investigated the actions, which we will qualify as timid and belated, of the FFF vis-à-vis the problems posed by France’s participation in this competition.

(JEREMIE LUCIANI / FRANCEINFO)
8:51 p.m. : Didier Deschamps is asked about the fact that the World Cup is being held in Qatar, and the controversies surrounding it. The coach remains on the cautious line set by the FFF:
“As a coach, I am a participant, just like the sports delegation. Participating does not mean endorsing. This decision was not taken weeks or months ago, more than ten years ago. The federation has taken the necessary steps. At our level, we will continue to be attentive to what is happening. (…) We must not give athletes powers that they do not have. I will not forbid no player to express themselves. Everyone is free. But they are actors.”
8:49 p.m. : Didier Deschamps does not comment on the expected objective for this World Cup, while the president of the FFF, Noël Le Graët, has fixed a place in the last four. “I can’t say that we are comfortable”recognizes the coach, who will only have his players ten days before the start of the competition.
8:30 p.m. : Sorry Pierre for not selecting Jonathan Clauss, we heard you cry out your sadness in the cottages of Bourbonnais!
8:49 p.m. : Good bah missed for Clauss, who had gone there precisely to play this World Cup, I imagine the disappointment!
8:30 p.m. : “Olivier Giroud knows his status. I have a position in relation to him, he knows it. Through the discussions we have had, the situation has evolved, that’s why I consider it better. for the France team that he is with us.”
Didier Deschamps notes the transition to double Olivier Giroud, with whom there was frying on the line during the last Euro.
8:28 p.m. : The main absentee from the list is therefore Jonathan Clauss. The absence of the right piston probably means the return to a four-man defense, the five-man system having not brought the expected stability.
8:28 p.m. : Didier Deschamps announces a list of 25 players, including Steve Mandanda, Raphaël Varane, Olivier Giroud and the surprise Jordan Veretout, but without Mike Maignan and Jonathan Clauss.
8:24 p.m. : Victim of a fractured orbit during the match between Tottenham and Marseille, the South Korean player Heung-min Son assured on Instagram that he would be present in Qatar. “Playing for your country at the World Cup is a dream for so many kids, and it’s mine. I wouldn’t miss it for the world. I can’t wait to represent our beautiful country.”he explained.
8:25 p.m. : @Jules To have discussed it with an official from the Ministry of Sports, the results of the FFF audit are not expected before the start of the World Cup … but not necessarily very long after. We cannot say that this transparency operation is “put under the rug” as you say. As for the “Platini affair”, justice is taking its course, with an appeal from the Swiss prosecutor’s office against the former leader of UEFA and Fifa. Finally, don’t think that the many issues surrounding the World Cup in Qatar will be ignored (and if you think so anyway, read our production for the next few days).
8:15 p.m. : Good evening Pierre, where are the many cases that enamel football and the federation, it’s time to talk about it, I have the impression that the audit is put under the carpet, not to mention Platini, Sarkozy and this eco and homicidal heresy
8:11 p.m. : If this is confirmed, we may regret that the player does not play completely free piston at OM as was the case at Lens, where he was more decisive in the game. A bit like Matteo Guendouzi, used curiously very high in the field by Igor Tudor when he had excelled as a defensive midfielder. The OM coach may have ruined the chances of two of his internationals to climb the French hierarchy. And the right side therefore risks finding Clauss door in Clairefontaine 😉
8:11 p.m. : Good evening Pierre, so too Clauss to call?
8:14 p.m. : Our comrades from franceinfo sport took out the calculator to determine if there were recurrences in the lists of Didier Deschamps for major competitions. During the world title in 2018, Didier Deschamps had selected 13 players who were playing their first international competition. All hopes are allowed for Matteo Guendouzi, Jonathan Clauss or Aurélien Tchouaméni…
8:05 p.m. : I’m not going to tell you about my life, but earlier I passed in front of the TF1 headquarters and it was effervescence, with the list of guests filtered by security guards, cameras in front of the entrance to the the chain… Inside, according to this article from the Parisian, it’s Fort Knox too. The coach locked himself around 6 p.m. in a room with an artistic director to create the animations to present the list. Mobile phones are prohibited in this secure room, to prevent any leakage.
8:04 p.m. : “It’s not the easiest list I’ve had to put together. My fellow coaches are facing the same difficulties.”comments Didier Deschamps, in the preamble on TF1.
8:06 p.m. : Let’s take stock of the forces present in our Blues:
– they are sure to go: Hugo Lloris, Alphonse Aréola, Benjamin Pavard, Adrien Rabiot, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Youssouf Fofana, Kingsley Coman, Kylian Mbappé, Karim Benzema, Antoine Griezmann, Ousmane Dembélé, Christopher Nkunku.
– They were injured but will recover in time: Raphaël Varane, Presnel Kimpembe, the Hernandez brothers, Mike Maignan.
– It should be seen that he agreed to be a stand-in: Olivier Giroud.
– they are in balance, according to the tactical options chosen by “DD”: Jonathan Clauss, Ferland Mendy, Eduardo Camavinga, Matteo Guendouzi, Jordan Veretout.
7:56 p.m. : Good evening everyone! We are together to follow the announcement of the list of 23 or 26 players selected by Didier Deschamps to participate in the World Cup in Qatar! We will start with the announcement at 8 p.m. on TF1 and we will continue with the coach’s press conference until around 10 p.m.
If the rumors of Jonathan Clauss not being selected are confirmed, this is how I will be:
7:56 p.m. : Since it’s going to be a question of round ball, tough choices and DD list, it’s high time to welcome my sidekick Pierre Godon who will make you live the announcement of the French players for the World Cup in Qatar.
1:25 p.m. : While waiting for the list of the Blues, the news of the day is the injury of Sadio Mané, the star of Senegal. Whether The Team claims that he will not play the World Cup with the reigning African champions, the boss of the Senegalese Federation is not so categorical: “We are waiting for the consultation of the medical department [du Bayern Munich] and official notification from the club.” Moreover, Switzerland unveiled their listwithout major surprise.
1:25 p.m. : Hello . The coach of the France team will reveal the players selected for the World Cup on the TF1 set this evening, probably around 8:20 p.m. But I advise you of course to follow this announcement in this direct, where our specialist Pierre Godon will come in reinforcement to analyze this list.
12:55 p.m. : Hello Louis. Do you know at what time and what channel can we see the announcement of Didier Deschamps for the World Cup? Thanks.
