I went to Clairefontaine last week to speak with Deschamps, whose time in charge of France will come to an end this summer.
He wasnât nostalgic, nor interested in talk of legacy, although he most certainly leaves one behind.

âIt will be another story â at least we hope that it will be a different story,â Deschamps told me before Franceâs World Cup opener versus Senegal, just as it was in 2002. It was a historic humbling & lessons from it still ring true.

đ«đ· âSubstance over style: that defines the Deschamps era. Rabiot, one of his most tried and trusted, embodies that too. Leave the style to the attackers, Rabiot is simply there to facilitate it.â

Deschamps: âAbroad thereâs maybe more recognition. The feeling abroad is different (from in France). God knows that, if the France team has been categorised as [playing] a defensive, restrictive game, it didnât prevent us from getting resultsâ

MbappĂ©, Olise, la retraite des cadres, la façon dont il est perçu en France et Ă lâĂ©tranger: Deschamps a presque tout Ă©voquĂ© lors de mon interview Ă Clairefontaine. Mais lâhĂ©ritage ? Ăa nâintĂ©resse pas lâentraĂźneur, tjrs aussi altruiste.

I asked Deschamps about his decision to play Mbappé as a No.9:
âI must be stupid, and there must have been a lot of stupid people who he has had as coaches to put him in the middle of the attack within the teams he has played.â

France having the same debate that England had with Gerrard and Lampard back in 2006 but with Dembélé and Mbappé.
MbappĂ© - as captain - is undroppable. You would think that the same applies to the Ballon dâOr winner, although, even recently, his PSG form hasnât carried over.

Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé and Michael Olise have the attacking power to shred opponents but will Didier Deschamps let them off the leash?

It wasnât supposed to end like this for Dante, who retires at the age of 42. He celebrates keeping #OGCNice in the Ligue 1 in his final game as a professional player but does so without any fans in attendance. An exceptional career that, nonetheless, finishes on a high.

Incredible depth of analysis from incredible journalists from all across the world. @WorldSoccerMag very much the standard-bearer of pre-World Cup coverage.
Genuinely, brilliant. Look at this. Not an advert in sight. Just pages and pages and pages of material, every single country, all treated the same. The word âpackedâ is overused when it comes to magazines but this is absolutely packed. đ The Bible.
