- Asked how the squad is living PSG's attack on the medical staff after Dembele's injury, Tchouaméni said in translation that they had not spoken about it. They were very sad for him and another injured player.
- Asked about clubs pushing players to avoid the national team, Tchouaméni said in translation that in the end the player says how he feels. He thinks the coach knows them well and knows when they should not play.
- Asked about his midfield partnership, Tchouaméni said in translation that his partner is a wonderful player and he thinks not everybody sees how amazing he is. Their connection is great on and off the pitch.
- Asked if a new manager had changed his role, Tchouaméni said in translation he had played closer to the goalkeeper but is back in midfield now. He thinks the new coach's ideas really match what he wants to do.
- Asked about Iceland, Tchouaméni said in translation it will be a tough game and they do not know what Iceland have in mind. If France play at their level it should not be too difficult, but they need to raise the bar.
- Asked if Mbappe is a different player from last year, Tchouaméni said in translation he thinks he adapted well to a big change, a new country and club. He has always been smiling, at the club and with France.
- Told that few France players besides Mbappe are recognised, Tchouaméni said in translation he thinks popularity comes with wins and connection with the public. He thinks the win against Croatia helped with that.
- Asked about playing game after game, Tchouaméni said in translation that they resumed late and their bodies have suffered since the start. Maybe he can answer in the coming months, but for now he feels quite well.
