The coach of the French team Didier Deschamps estimated on Thursday March 14 that he was “ very difficult to string together two competitions » like the Euro and the Olympic Games, about the case of Kylian Mbappé, candidate to compete in the Games in Paris this summer. “ It is very difficult on a psychological and physical level to be able to string together two competitions like that, in the summer, without having had a vacation. “, said the technician during the presentation of his list of 23 players for the friendly matches against Germany and Chile. “DD” added that if some of his players were also to play in the Paris Olympics, the names must be known before the start of preparation for the Euro, which “ remains a priority “. “ So that there is no interference, from the moment we are in preparation training at Clairefontaine, things will be clear, those who will go, those who will not go “, he developed. Some leaders of the Blues like Kylian Mbappé and Antoine Griezmann have made it known that they dream of playing the Olympic Games at home, benefiting from the regulations which authorize each team to add three players beyond the 23-year-old limit to their squad. But since the Olympics are not part of FIFA dates, clubs are not obliged to release their players, which could complicate Mbappé’s situation. The captain of the Blues has in fact announced to his leaders that he will leave PSG next summer and will therefore have to negotiate with his next employer, which should be Real Madrid.
