“If it’s feasible, it will be done,” confirms Didier Deschamps on the subject of traveling by train for the Blues

After the blue rugby players, it’s the turn of the footballers? The president of the French Football Federation (FFF) Philippe Diallo announced on October 19 that Didier Deschamps’ French team could travel by rail in March 2024 for a friendly match in Lyon. While announcing, Thursday, November 9, the list of players selected to play against Gibraltar and Greece, the coach declared: “I don’t have a problem with that. It’s a request, I discussed it with him [Philippe Diallo]I understand his position “.

He defended the importance “symbolic” of such a trip for the Blues: “Thatwas part of the duties when we are in the French team, whether it is the players or me “even if”I don’t think we’re going to solve all the problems “of society. One of the remaining barriers?”Security data “what remains” deepen ” according to him, “but from the moment it is feasible it will be done” he said.

An expected decision, particularly since the controversy caused by the ex-PSG coach, Christophe Galtier, in September 2022, where the technician, when asked about possible train travel, had ironically mentioned the possibility of traveling “in sand yachting“. In November 2022, the XV of France took the train to Marseille and faced South Africa in a test match.
