Often soothing sequence, the press conference of the France team on Monday night at Wembley, was imbued with a palpable emotional charge. Closed and severe faces, Hugo Lloris and Didier Deschamps spoke in this order for 45 minutes. Upon arrival, a bouquet of flowers was delivered to the French coach with this message: “Vive la France”. The tone was set.
Not a single question has obviously turned around sporting stakes of this game, since sporting challenge there will not be Tuesday night at Wembley between English and French. It was never a question of who would play and with what system to determine whether it was important to win in England after leading the Germans. All this no longer counts.
“Facing such atrocities, such barbarity, it is difficult to find the words.” “
Rarely has Hugo Lloris as eloquent an hour answering questions from the press. We rarely known Didier Deschamps as serious. The coach tried to weigh every word, including before the most complicated issues, such as when he was asked to discuss the case of Antoine Griezmann and especially Lassana Diarra, directly affected by the Friday night drama. Or have a word for the victims.
“ face of such atrocity, such barbarity, it is difficult to find words, has he conceded. We believe all the victims, their families, who are in pain and will remain so. “Finally, Didier Deschamps and Hugo Lloris appeared in the image of all the French. Shocked, stunned, but worthy and ready to rise. Not because it is easy. But because there is nothing else to do. “ Everyone knows the dramatic circumstances, said Lloris. We had a few days to mourn. ” It’s little.
It is unclear what might look like this match, which will not be quite a once gave the kickoff, but if it is in the same vein as the press conference, will take the human not in sport. It can not be otherwise. And that’s fine.
