Former goalkeeper and captain of the France team, Hugo Lloris had to deal with certain criticism throughout his career in the selection. The Frenchman was particularly targeted for his lack of efficiency on penalties. Comments which deeply annoy Didier Deschamps’ staff.
How would the 2022 World Cup final have ended with Mike Maignan in goal? Many supporters of the France team asked questions. It must be said that Hugo Lloris, far from being a specialist on penalties, did not stop a single attempt by the Argentinians during the penalty shootout. It was indeed his South American counterpart Emiliano Martinez who led his team to the coronation.
Raviot defends Lloris
This lack of success in this exercise earned the former goalkeeper and captain of the Blues severe criticism. Unfair comments if we are to believe Franck Raviot, the goalkeeper coach of the vice-world champions. “ It bothers me when people talk and don’t know. It really bothers me because it’s not clumsiness, it’s misplaced dishonesty. “, denounced the member of Didier Deschamps’ staff in the podcast La voix des Gardiens.
« I read, because I read and inform myself a lot. I know the time we spent, I know the time the video analysts spent sometimes late at night. I know what we set up with Hugo, I know the time Hugo spent in front of the screens decoding, deciphering, noting down. Sometimes, when we do everything and it goes well, we are the happiest. Sometimes, when we do everything and it doesn’t turn out the way we would have liked it to, we are the most unhappy », Regretted Franck Raviot.
