This Thursday, March 16, Didier Deschamps made public his list of 23 players who will defend the jersey of the France team during the Euro 2024 qualifiers. The first list since the World Cup was expected, especially after the recent retirements of executives of the French team. And the two losers of the 2022 world are Matteo Guendouzi and Axel Disasi, unselected. Deschamps wanted to clarify this choice.
As usual, the coach of the team of FranceDidier Deschamps, extended until 2026, answered many questions from journalists present at a press conference to discuss the choices he made. And as with each list, the choice is hard but it is not definitive, as the coach of the Blues since 2012.
Newcomers and losers
The recent retreats of Hugo Lloris, Raphael Varane, Karim Benzema And Steve Mandanda have largely reshuffled the cards for players waiting to be summoned one day with the Blues. Khéphren Thuram, Brice Samba And Wesley Fofana are therefore the new faces who will discover the castle of Clairefontaine. The happiness of some is the misfortune of others because despite these retreats, Matteo Guendouzi And Axel Disasi did not know how to take the opportunity to apply for a place in this group, although they were present during the world Cup.

“Nothing is final”
Didier Deschamps, during the press conference returned to the absences of Guendouzi And Disasi : “ These are choices to be made, no one is condemned. This is the case with Benjamin Pavard. Maybe those I’m calling today would have preferred to be with us three months ago. It’s always in relation to the competition for this position, but nothing is definitive. It’s the choice of the moment that does not mean that it will be the choice of June »
