On X (formerly Twitter), the FFF made public this Wednesday a video of just over three minutes on the France team. This allows us to enter the French locker room during the friendly match against Chile on Tuesday evening at the Vélodrome stadium, won by the Blues 3-2. Three days after the non-match against Germany (0-2), we can see relaxation. Coach Didier Deschamps chats with his captain Kylian Mbappé before speaking to his group before kick-off: “It's time to act, guys. You have to do, show what you know collectively. We are here to create and make differences. »

Olivier Giroud scored his 57th goal in 131 caps (a record) in the second half and allowed France to take the break before the Chilean reduction at the end of the match. The Tricolores win in the end and can breathe easy. “We won this second match, that’s positive. I know that you all have deadlines and objectives to achieve, but at the end of May and the beginning of June you will need all the necessary freshness, physically and psychologically too. Congratulations to the whole group even if we didn't do everything well but at least we won this one. »
