the hot reaction of Didier Deschamps

And to think that we already thought we were bored during the matches against Austria, the Netherlands and Poland. The height of boredom finally took place against Belgium this Monday. The main thing is at the end for the French team, with a victory snatched thanks to a cross-shot from Kolo Muani deflected into his own net by Vertonghen (1-0, 87th). Happiness at the end of a poor spectacle, as much due to the new French lack of efficiency as to the lamentable performance of Belgium.

All this did not hamper the French joy, like that of the coach Didier Deschamps. “Yes, it’s beautiful. We played a great game against a good team, it was tight, even if we had a lot more possession and chances. It’s Kolo, it’s beautiful, good for him”, he said after the meeting, all smiles. Regardless of the scenario and the content, the national coach wanted to celebrate the qualification. “We had strike situations that we didn’t all get on target unfortunately. Also due to the quality of the opponent opposite. We must savor, we must not trivialize, we are on shift, they are going home. »

Yes, there is the quality to score goals. Without scoring, it’s impossible. It’s good for Kolo, he’s there, he’s waiting for us, he has a beautiful smile”DD slipped. If he is decisive by his action, Kolo Muani is not the scorer, since the goal was attributed to Vertonghen, the unfortunate Belgian defender.

The qualification snatched at the end of the match will not eliminate the debates around the quality of play of the France team, which took a long time to get rid of the Red Devils who were very limited in their offensive expression. That said, DD’s coaching will have been devilishly effective, unlike that of Tedesco, since his only change will have been decisive.
