The objective of the Blues, "it is at least the last four" of the World Cup

Inevitably, when you are outgoing world champion like the France team, you cannot be content to make up the numbers.

For Noël Le Graët, things are clear before the next World Cup in Qatar.

“We want to defend our title, launches the president of the French Football Federation (FFF) in

, this Sunday.

But the objective is at least the last four, as usual.

In office since 2012, Didier Deschamps will see his contract expire at the end of this competition.

Le Graët reaffirms that he does not intend to extend it by then, but that this does not in any way diminish the authority that “DD” may have over his group.

“Didier doesn't need that.

We will see each other at the end of the competition to see if he wants to continue”, judges the Breton leader.

Zidane's shadow over the France team

And if the "desire" is no longer there (or the World Cup is a new failure, after Euro 2021), a tall bald figure will hover over the Blues, that of Zinedine Zidane.

“Zidane showed in Madrid that he had qualities that we hardly imagined, slips “NLG”.

In the minds of the French, he may be a successor.

But that's not my goal.

We'll see.

If Didier and I separate, he will surely be one of the options.

Unless Zizou explores other avenues.

"Zidane may take PSG," says Le Graët, in complete relaxation.
