The distressing spectacle offered by the Blues on Thursday against Israel (0-0) provoked strong reactions among French supporters.
This time, the absentees were right. The rare spectators present at the Stade de France on Thursday – there were not only 16,611 people – indeed witnessed a real purge. Opposed to Israel for the 5th day of the Nations League qualifiers, the Blues had to settle for a sad draw (0-0), offering a distressing spectacle.
The players recognized him without difficulty at the end of the meeting. “There’s frustration, anger, everything… We didn’t have a good match. We had chances but we didn't do what we needed to, that's why we drew.”thus asserted Jules Koundé at the microphone of TF1, Ibrahima Konaté launching: “There is a huge disappointment, a huge frustration. We dominated the match, we had a lot of opportunities to beat it. »
“Didier Deschamps, that’s enough! »
Didier Deschamps was much less severe, believing that the Blues “did the right thing”. “We could have done more, but we did what was necessary from the moment we did not score against an extremely grouped opponent, who was gaining time. We lacked efficiency, he analyzed. We had the chances, even if we had a quiet start to the match, not energetic enough. We did more in the second half, we had the chances to score, but the goalkeeper did what was necessary. »
This soothing speech should not improve his popularity with the French public. Because for many, the former midfielder is primarily responsible for this slump and many supporters have made their voices heard by demanding the departure of Didier Deschamps on social networks. “Deschamps Dehors” played in a loop all evening.
