Press review: France v Norway, the France side and Guy Stéphan | OneFootball

This Thursday, June 25, the French press (from a sporting perspective) had nothing in particular to focus on regarding Paris Saint-Germain. Instead, attention has shifted to the France national team, which will play Norway tomorrow at 9 p.m. in the third matchday of the World Cup. There will be a few changes in the lineup, and Guy Stéphan will serve as head coach, as manager Didier Deschamps has returned to France for his mother’s funeral.

L’Equipe –

France is preparing in especially sad circumstances, but the squad cannot allow itself to be distracted. Rather, the hope is to see real unity and a desire to win in order to support Deschamps from afar, while also putting themselves in the best possible position for what comes next, both in the standings and in terms of confidence.

There is also some squad management involved in order to avoid overload and to build confidence throughout the team. That can be seen in the lineup, and it may continue with the substitutions. Still, the match will be taken very seriously, with a Norway side that has plenty of quality and will not give anything away.
