"We are still vigilant", warned the coach of the Blues Didier Deschamps before facing Tuesday Andorra in qualifying for Euro-2020, warning his players against a possible "relaxation" after the victory against Albania on Saturday (4-1).

. Attention to looseness

Deschamps: "We are always vigilant, when the first game goes well, there is always consciously or unconsciously a little relaxation, we will be attentive to that.You think that the case is already settled, but it remains a football match, the Andorra team held off Turkey until the 88th minute (1-0 defeat) .The important thing is that the group is concerned.We can repeat, but the players They know very well that we have to put it back tomorrow (Tuesday) .The three points against Andorra, they have the same value as those against Albania.There is confidence, of relaxation, but that does not prevent the Concentration and determination, you have to find a happy medium, to be able to put your foot on the accelerator to impose what you want to do. "

How are we motivated? "Just looking at the ranking of our group," meets the goalkeeper and captain Hugo Lloris. "We know it's very tight and it's a 3-point match, and if you can win in goal difference, it's always interesting."

. Andorra, not so much a gift

Deschamps: "They will have the same expenditure of energy, the same faculty to make efforts than to go (victory 4-0 of the Bleus on a synthetic grass, ed.) We will not have the same ground, is still better for us.They will play with the same desire to approach, to fight, to take advantage of the least opportunity that will arise. "

Lloris: "The match between Turkey and Andorra is certainly a reference game for them, it will certainly give them confidence and they will try to reproduce the same performance at the Stade de France. We have to do what we have very well against Albania, to use the field well respecting the positioning, also putting pace in the passes. "

. Hernandez fit ...

Deschamps: "Lucas Hernandez took a few shots (against Albania) but I know when he has something and he does not have much (laughs) He adds a little, it's his experience at the Atlético de Madrid He took a good shot on the coast, there is no problem, he is available. "

... but there will be changes

Deschamps: "I will wait for today's training and I will decide tomorrow between those who played, who have recovered well.It will not take any risk.There will be some changes it seems logical to me, even if the eleven who started on Saturday will want to play again, it will not be the same team, that's for sure. "

Lloris: "It's always important to give playing time when we can to the players Tomorrow's game, whatever the starting eleven, the desire is common: take the 3 points, have fun, give it to our supporters, there is always something to take. "

. A stadium of France "centenary"

Against Andorra, it will be the 100th game of the Blues at the Stade de France since the inauguration in 1998. "I do not know if the players are aware," said Deschamps. "It's a symbolic figure that I like, and in the opening match against Spain (in January 1998), the pitch was very cold, it was very cold, it was marked by the title of champion of world and then there was a story after with important matches, and after that title, this stadium took on even more symbolic value. "

Lloris: "It is part of the heritage of French football, where the French have lived great emotions, sometimes with disappointments anyway.But in general, it remains a stage steeped in history, whether with the 1998 World Cup and there were some very nice things during the Euro-2016, where unfortunately there was not the end we wanted, but in general, it is a stadium with positive waves for players French."
