Didier Deschamps must have expected it. After the announcement of Antoine Griezmann’s international retirement, eyes immediately turned to the coach of the France team. Many people consider him responsible for the departure of his midfielder who was not chosen to wear the captain’s armband, and was suddenly demoted during Euro 2024.
The Blues coach has obviously heard this new wave of criticism. And even if he often pretends to ignore the comments, this media treatment does not leave him indifferent. The proof is that Didier Deschamps tried to calm things down with the media during his press conference this Thursday. “ For a while now, my role has always been exposednoted the former coach of Olympique de Marseille. I live with it. Then there are things that can be pleasant and others less pleasant when they are not necessarily factual things, or which are not reality. »

Which did not prevent the last rally, in the second match against Belgium (2-0), from responding and putting in a very good match to beat this team. » Given his low popularity rating, Didier Deschamps will have difficulty reversing the trend.
