AL RAYYAN, Qatar — The French national team, or the vast majority of it, slept in on Saturday. That’s according to coach Didier Deschamps and captain Hugo Lloris, who said they left their hotel in west Doha and traveled to the nearby Qatar National Convention Centre for a pre-World Cup final press conference, which began at 11:30 am local time, without seeing any colleagues.
“Everyone was in their rooms this morning when I got up for my breakfast, so I haven’t seen anyone,” Lloris said.
“I left quite early this morning from our camp, so they were all still asleep,” Deschamps added.
