For many months, the play of the France team has been criticized. After a clearly unexciting Euro 2024 on the pitch, Didier Deschamps is often questioned for his lack of offensive approach. Present at a press conference this Saturday, Mattéo Guendouzi stepped up to the plate on this subject.

We always try to give the best of ourselves, whether we like it or not, we know what we have to do on the pitch.”explained the midfielder of the Lazio Romewho believes that the Blues remain very competitive despite everything.
