Even Didier Deschamps could not take this international purge anymore.

Three games to be stuck in the middle of an extended season, including two trips to the end of the world, for an honorable accounting record and zero serious injuries to deplore.

Didier Deschamps did not ask more of his players, unlike journalists, whom he kindly criticized at the microphone of the Equipe channel after the victory in Bosnia:

“The most important thing is that we got the result we wanted.

Afterwards in the content, obviously we can do better.

But it's complicated for everyone.

Look at Kazakhstan, which for you is a bastard team, they manage to draw in Ukraine.

It's because they're not that baltring.

And the Bosnian team tonight is not the same one I saw against Finland.

We have the right to that every time.

"

DD wants a list of 26 players in May

The coach clarified his point in a press conference: “Between the long trips, the time difference, the particular playing conditions, it is difficult for the players.

The main thing is there but I admit that these are difficult qualifying phases.

The Euro will be something else.

But by then too, for the players, it will be "chain, chain, chain".

I also think that if UEFA looked into the subject of being able to expand the list, by two or three players, that would be a good thing, provided they can all be on the scoresheet.

We have not had a positive case but I think that with fatigue and all that (the Covid-19), it would be a good thing ”.

The reaction of the striker against Bosnia-Herzegovina (1-0)!

A wise remark that we imagine heard by UEFA, which has just formalized the continuation of the rule of five changes for Euro 2021. And that would make fewer reservists to be left on the sidelines at the end of May, even if both or three additional called-in players will have little chance of playing.
