It becomes a little ritual. Each time the players arrive at Clairefontaine, the center of the French Football Federation where the players gather before their international matches, they arrive for around fifty seconds between their car and the top of the twenty steps of the entrance, in haute couture clothes.

For this first, we do not know which song Lucas Chevalier will sing as a hazing during the meal with the staff and players, to respect tradition.
The players will face Israel this Thursday, November 14, for a match under high protection, at the Stade de France, then will face Italy, Sunday, November 17, still within the framework of the League of Nations.
