Title : Deschamps' gang - Birth of a team - Raphaël Raymond, Damien Degorre - book

Summary :

With their ticket to the 2014 World Cup snatched after a Homeric play-off against Ukraine in a Stade de France that had never been so joyous since the historic July 12, 1998, Didier Deschamps's Blues flew to Brazil, carrying as many hopes as questions. They returned as quarter-finalists, their path cut off only by the future world champion, Germany, having managed to give their supporters a taste for the greatest conquests.
After the Knysna disaster in 2010, and the long-lasting disenchantment between Les Bleus and their fans, it was far from certain. Who better than Didier Deschamps, the most impressive player in French football, to get things going again? Firm in his boots, the "boss" of the 1998 world champions threw himself without hesitation into a patient reconstruction effort, of which the Brazilian adventure was only the first step. With him, a team was born, still young but playful, ambitious, and popular.
From the beginnings of "DD" as coach to this summer of 2014 which saw French football start to dream again, it is to the heart of these Blues that Damien Degorre and Raphaël Raymond invite us, in the company of Sakho, Benzema, Pogba, Varane, Matuidi, Valbuena, Griezmann and the others: Deschamps' gang, or the beginning of a beautiful story on the eve of Euro 2016 which will be played in France?
Between scoops, unpublished anecdotes and secrets, the true story of Didier Deschamps's Blues, seen from the inside.
