Nice you live
Thank you for following this press conference with us, see you soon.
Welsey Fofana ready after his long injury?
“For Wesley, from the moment he plays in the Championship with Chelsea, he is ready to play with us. He performed well all last month at the club.”
Young hopefuls like Akliouche far from the selection?
“No, even if we follow them carefully, it still requires confirmation.”
How to play without Griezmann?
“Differently. He had such an impact that we can’t play the same way. I’m not necessarily going to change systems, I’m not going to try to have an equivalent.”
Deschamps on the possibility of seeing new players
“We are still observing all the players with the technical staff. For Kalulu, he had a complicated last season.
On the match against Israel
“We have a football match to play taking into account the current conditions and hoping that it goes as well as possible.”
Adrien Rabiot too short physically?
“I have spoken several times with Adrien, he still needs time. His last match as a starter was with us on July 9. If all goes well, he will be available for us in November.”
Deschamps on Olise with Bayern
“He has adapted well. Michael has significant potential but he still has steps to overcome. He’s had a very good start to the season with Bayern, scoring and making goals.”
Nkunku’s return to the French team
“He has had a lot of injuries, he has playing time which is not excessive at Chelsea. But every time he played, he was decisive.
Deschamps under pressure?
“My position is always exposed, there are some pleasant things and others not. Everyone has their own freedom of thought and I have no problem with that. If there was a slightly more serene environment around the France team, I would be better off with that.”

Consultation
Do you understand Antoine Griezmann’s choice?
Do you understand Antoine Griezmann’s choice?
Lucas Chevalier missing from the list
“The three goalkeepers who are there are used to being there. It will come at one point or another for Lucas. This forces my goalkeepers to remain efficient.
A privileged relationship with Griezmann
“There are similarities with those of Hugo (Lloris), Olivier (Giroud) and Raphaël (Varane), he is someone who is endearing and generous in everything he does. I have a special relationship with him and I cannot remain indifferent to our discussions.”
Respect Griezmann’s decision
“Antoine felt it was time to stop and we must respect his decision. We discussed it together and he understood it.”
Mbappé, from the detachment during the last rally?
“Kylian at the last rally was not in the best condition mentally. But I don’t have the slightest doubt about his involvement.”
Griezmann departure and leadership
“There are different forms of leadership: technical, physical or oral. But players will be able to take this role like N’Golo.”
Griezmann, an example for young people
“He didn’t have a linear or smooth path. On a human level, he was a very endearing, generous person, a leader on the ground. It’s a page that is obviously turning.”
Antoine Griezmann’s retirement
“Antoine is reaching an age where there is physical and psychological fatigue. He made this decision and he accepts it, in the sense that it is not constrained or forced. It didn’t happen in 2 days, he was already thinking about it during the last competition.”
