The French national team has secured its spot in the upcoming Euro. However, there is no rest for Didier Deschamps, as there is another significant goal during these qualifiers.
Didier Deschamps emphasized in a press conference that with Euro qualification in the bag, the job isn’t finished: « There is another objective. Given what is planned for the draw, with 10 groups, including six groups of four, and Germany as a top seed… so to be a top seed, only five spots are left. »
« Being first in the group isn’t enough; the players have known this for a while. We will need more than 18 points. It’s not a matter of underestimating the two matches we have left, with Gibraltar at home and the trip to Greece, which could be decisive for them, especially with their victory tonight in Ireland. »
« They will host the Netherlands, and we also have the role of an arbiter. But even for us, we must not let up; we need to maintain these high standards. »
