Arriving in the Basque Country on Sunday evening, Thierry Henry’s men are redoubling their efforts two days before their first preparation match against Paraguay (9:15 p.m., on La Chaîne L’Équipe).
After a weekend of rest, the Bleuets met up in Bayonne on Sunday evening where they will play the first of their three preparation matches for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games on Thursday.
This Tuesday, two deadlines were on the menu. In the morning, the Tricolores took part in an intense physical session of almost two hours before returning to the Jean-Dauger stadium in Bayonne this afternoon for training in front of nearly 500 children invited by the District. The latter were able to leave with autographs and photos of the players and staff.
