CHRISTOPHE SAIDI / SIPA

Not very exciting Sunday against Portugal (0-0), the France team challenges Croatia in front of several thousand supporters in Zagreb, Wednesday evening in the League of Nations, hoping for a waking up of the playing master Antoine Griezmann and his attack.

"The presence of supporters is positive"

If there were not "many sparks" at the Stade de France, there will in any case be an atmosphere at the Maksimir stadium in the Croatian capital, where 7,000 fervent supporters of the checkered team are expected. , "A little hostility" which "will do good" to the Blues, according to their captain Hugo Lloris.

“The presence of the supporters is positive.

It will do good for the French players to surpass themselves through adversity to win this match.

We will use everything to find the necessary energy to perform well and win.

Everything is in place for a great match and I think the France team will have to be even better than against Portugal (0-0 on Sunday) if they want to win ”.

This should not be very difficult, against an opposition a priori more consenting defensively than the Lusitanian safe.

In Zagreb, the coach could be tempted to renew part of the team that challenged Cristiano Ronaldo on Sunday at the Stade de France, even if the players of Bayern Munich have a game to play from Thursday in club, and those of PSG from Friday .

Because for him, it is not “the balance” which sinned, nor the quality of the aligned players, but rather the animation of the game.

Deschamps wants to continue to "widen the palette of the Blues"

“I am expanding our range so that I can change at any time, during a match or from one match to another.

We must be able to keep a system that has been our strength, but also to bring variety, ”he explained Tuesday.

“I considered that September, October, November, was the time to do things differently, to have answers before switching to the Euro in 2021. In March, it will be very close.

There are always lessons, answers, taking into account the opposition we also have ”.
