According to "RMC", at around 3 a.m. local time on Friday, a fire alarm in the hotel where the French team is located suddenly sounded, awakening the sleeping players. Although is a false alarm, French media generally worry that it will affect the game status of French players and Denmark. After all, after high-intensity games and training, players need to get a good rest, and it is not a good thing to wake up by an alarm in their sleep.
This is no longer the first "fire alarm" encountered by the participating teams in the Qatar World Cup. At around 2:30 pm local time on November 20, a fire alarm also sounded at the hotel where Ghana team was staying, and all guests, including the entire Ghana team, were evacuated from the hotel building. After a 45-minute inspection, the local fire brigade in Qatar came and determined that it was a fire alarm and that the hotel was safe. Afterwards, Ghana lost the first round of the group stage and they lost to Portugal 2-3. Fortunately, the Ghana team's experience did not happen again with the French team.

Before the match with the Denmark team, the French team staff received good news. After negotiations, the French Football Association and the French team players decided to jointly fund the family members of the staff to reunite and watch the game in Qatar, but the premise is that the team must reach the top 16. Now that the French team has advanced early, the staff should be relieved.
On the opening day of this World Cup, the French "League" disclosed that the French Football Association was unwilling to bear the cost of the players' families and team staff's families going to Qatar to watch the World Cup. The reason for the French Football Association is that due to the impact of the new crown epidemic, they need to cut expenses, so they cannot organize players and staff families to accompany the team, which has also aroused widespread opposition from the French internationals.
Four years ago in the Russian World Cup, the French Football Association agreed to pay for the travel expenses of the players' families starting from the third group stage until the end of the game. At that time, the French Football Association organized the players' families and friends to set off from Paris to Russia by private jet. After the French team advanced to the top 16, the players were able to reunite with their families for a brief reunion. This is also believed to ensure the players' condition and fighting spirit, allowing the French team to win the World Cup championship again in Russia.

But in this World Cup, although head coach Deschamps allowed the team to advance to the knockout game and meet their families, the French Football Association was unwilling to bear the expenses again due to the reduction. They said that two staff members will be arranged to be responsible for the logistics support of players and staff members' families in Qatar, including visas and round trip transportation, but all the expenses of these families to Qatar will be paid out of their own pocket. But this decision aroused opposition from French players, and for this reason, French players were still negotiating with the French Football Association before the opening of this World Cup.
According to the latest report from The Team, after the French team beat Australia 4-1 in the first game, the French Football Association made a decision - If the team advances to the top 16, they will join the French internationals to support the team's staff's family to Qatar. The report of does not mention the cost issue of the player's family, but it is likely that the player will bear it himself. In fact, this expenditure is nothing to the well-paid French players. The team staff are different, their income is limited. The Team News said that if the staff's families want to watch the game in Qatar, each person will have to pay about 2,000 euros (about 14,900 yuan).
So, the final negotiation result was that the families of staff members jointly funded by the French Football Association and the French internationals went to Qatar to watch the game during the knockout stage. In this way, if the team staff want to see their families during the World Cup, they need to work hard to ensure that the team obtains the qualifying right .From the game against Denmark, it can be seen that the French players are in good condition and are not affected by the fire the day before. This should be the staff working together to ensure their logistics.
