It is valid for girls (at the Euro in July, editor's note) as for boys", said Le Graët during a press conference at the end of the GA.

The president has also confirmed that he will meet coach Didier Deschamps at Guingamp in July, but not to discuss an extension of his contract, which ends at the end of the World Cup in Qatar (November 21-December 18). .

"Didier will come to see me at Guingamp, where I feel very comfortable, explained Le Graët. I like to spend a day with him from time to time. We will see each other in July, before the preparation of the World Cup. We will take a good look at things to see how the + Fed + can get more involved to help (Qatar).

"I will not discuss any extension with him," said Le Graët.

If he "does not excuse the recent performances" of the Blues (two defeats and two draws, editor's note) in the League of Nations in June, the leader however recognized that "for all the big nations, many players, who have a lot played this season, were not up to the occasion".

“Question of fatigue, injury, envy too”, he launched before turning to the supra-national authorities.

So many matches at the end of the championships, it's not very reasonable," said insisted Le Graët, who is counting on the two matches in September "to get out of this last place" in the League of Nations.

"In order not to lose money, you must not go down," he stressed.

As for the possibility of seeing Zinédine Zidane succeed "DD", the president retorted: "You are calculating far! We may win the World Cup! And in this case, Didier Deschamps will return to Guingamp for a daytime."
