Before the Deschamps final: opponents on the court, not in the stands, there may be a Frenchman who wants Lionel Messi to win.

World Cup final, Argentina vs France, French coach Deschamps attended the press conference before the match.
Interviewer: how do you feel? How are the players? How does this affect the team’s preparation for the final?
Deschamps: I’m fine. Thank you for your concern. The players were sleeping when I left and there was no latest news. We are trying to stay calm and there will be some feedback today and some tomorrow to make sure we are ready for this big game.
The final is always very unique, and the mood swings of different players will be different. When this is the first final of some players, there is not much background to refer to. After playing a few games, obviously after playing a few games, it helped me manage the mood of the team. On this point, I will give a speech on the team and communicate privately with different players.
Reporter: what kind of preventive measures have you taken?
Deschamps: we must take the strongest precautions, adapt to it and solve it, so that the situation does not worsen, which is obviously another situation. If we can make it not exist, so much the better, we will do everything we can.
Interviewer: the whole world wants Lionel Messi to be crowned. Do you feel lonely?
Deschamps: there are some unforeseen circumstances that we have to adapt to. We did our best to finally get us to take part in tomorrow’s game against Argentina. For them, they also need to deal with certain situations. Lost the first game against Saudi Arabia. I’m not worried or stressed.
The most important thing to prepare for such a game is to stay calm. The World Cup final is not only a game, but also has special significance. But I know that the Argentines, maybe some French, also want to (Messi win the championship).
Interviewer: what do you think of Argentina’s changes since 2018 and the (4-3) victory in the last 16?
Didier Deschamps: there are seven players in Argentina today who played in the 2018 World Cup. This is a different team. I’m not going to make a comparison. It doesn’t make sense. It was a top 16 game. We played in six games with different people and combinations, which is very helpful. The team has three observers who have watched all the games and can help us get accurate information.
Argentina can do something different tomorrow, and so can we. Morocco played five defenders in the semi-final, and they haven’t done it before and we have to be ready for that.
Interviewer: why is Mbappe so quiet? what do you think of this?
Deschamps: when he has to speak, he will. Mbappe needs to be calm, he is focused on the pitch and what he has to do on the pitch, he is in a very good state of mind and I don’t want to break his calm.
Interviewer: you said a few months ago that you would like to stay in the French team for 10 years if possible.
Didier Deschamps: France is the best thing that has happened to me. I am very happy as a player and very lucky as a coach. This is a very high standard. I am very good and happy in this position. The most important thing is never me, but the French team. He is above all else, I serve him, tomorrow’s game will be there, I only think about this game.
Reporter: are you worried about the stadium atmosphere of the final?
Didier Deschamps: this Argentine team has a lot of fan support and the power of this advantage has been reflected in all the games. In tomorrow’s final, even if there are French supporters, most of the fans will support Argentina.
I hope there is a festive atmosphere. Argentines are passionate people. They fully support their team. They will sing loudly and exude a festive atmosphere. It is a good thing to have such an atmosphere in such a game. This is the World Cup final. However, our opponents are not in the stands, but on the pitch.
After tomorrow, we and one of their teams will print the third star on the jersey.
Interviewer: are you surprised that Benzema is back on the pitch this week? do you think he will support the team in the final?
Deschamps responded to the reporter: are you spreading news from foreign journalists? If I don’t answer, you’ll say I’m angry. I have players who have been injured before, Benzema is one of them, the most recent one is Lucas Hernandez. Since then, the players I have to manage are 24.
It’s embarrassing to ask these players questions, our team is right there. I don’t care which player is invited, the former international or the injured player. I don’t know who will show up in the final. At first we had regular players, then we lost three people, starting with Nkunku. They’re all part of the beginning.
