It is therefore on Thursday August 26, almost two months after the pitiful elimination of the Blues against Switzerland in the round of 16 of the Euro (June 29), that Didier Deschamps, questioned by part of the French public but confirmed by Noël Le Graët, will unveil its first list of the new season. And while he has been criticized for a certain unusual laxity in his way of managing during the competition, the coach will necessarily be scrutinized for the choices he is about to make. Should we expect a group almost similar to the one that stumbled this summer? This is the whole question that will surround the unveiling of the list next Thursday August 26 at 2 p.m., at the headquarters of the FFF.
3 matches to get a foothold in Qatar
While it should probably meet at Clairefontaine on the morning of Monday, August 30, the French delegation will have only two days to prepare the reception of Bosnia and Herzegovina at Meinau (Strasbourg, Wednesday, September 1). Three days later, it is a perilous trip to Ukraine, quarter-finalist of the last Euro that will emerge (Saturday 4 September) before hosting Finland on Tuesday 7 at Groupama Stadium.
With four points ahead of the Ukrainians, their main opponent in qualifying, the Blues, if they manage the next three matches well, should be able to put at least one foot in Qatar, location of the next World Cup (21 November -December 18, 2022).
