The French team will therefore fly to Qatar in less than two months with recent references as a victory in its last six games, and even no goal scored in the first half over the whole period.

We have already experienced the best period in the history of the Blues, especially when we know the tenacious curse that accompanies the defending champion in the World Cup.

But despite this clear setback (2-0), Sunday in Denmark, the men of Didier Deschamps wanted not to show skepticism in the face of the media.


“This match does us good before the World Cup, assures Antoine Griezmann, captain of the Blues for the first time in Copenhagen.

I'm not worried at all.

We have the group and the coach to aim very high, so it's up to us to work and put everything in place to arrive ready for the World Cup.

“Even by recovering a wagon of absentees (Lloris, the Hernandez brothers, Kanté, Coman, Benzema…) for the World Cup, this French team has reason to worry, right?

"A booster shot" for Deschamps

"I don't think we are lacking in confidence," said Aurélien Tchouaméni.

Everything was beautiful and all rosy 24 hours ago, we had just beaten Austria (2-0) in a collective match.

Today, for sure, we weren't good.

We have to look at what we have done individually and collectively and rectify the situation.

We are not yet able to follow up, so it is certain that we will have to do better at the World Cup.

But I don't think that's worrying.

We all respect the League of Nations, but I'm sure that at the World Cup, it will be a completely different game against Denmark.

Didier Deschamps unsurprisingly carried the same optimism: “I am not going to darken the situation, nor be worried.

You know the situation with the wounded.

We still had a booster shot today compared to what awaits us in two months.

“Ah yes, we almost forgot that thanks to the Croatian success (1-3) in Austria on Sunday, the band of Kylian Mbappé, also very far from his best level in Copenhagen, is guaranteed to stay in the League of Nations A for the next edition.

“Keeping up is the lesser evil, but that's not what will make me go up to the ceiling,” DD said.

We would be almost reassured, the sky is therefore not perceived as 100% blue in the home team of France this Monday.
