On this Thursday, June 4, the French press (from a sporting perspective) has nothing directly focused on Paris Saint-Germain; there is only the France national team’s friendly tonight against Ivory Coast, with 5 PSG players among Les Bleus: Lucas Hernandez, Warren Zaïre-Emery, Désiré Doué, Bradley Barcola, and Ousmane Dembélé. They are not expected to start.

It is only a friendly, so there will be no World Cup verdict tonight. Especially since this kind of match is meant more for preparation than for winning. Still, confidence is always valuable. A strong performance would do some good.

That applies to both sides, with an opponent that must be taken very seriously. Let’s hope Les Bleus show some encouraging signs. As for the Parisians, perhaps they will come on during the match. Otherwise, they will wait for Monday’s game against Northern Ireland.
