The French team got caught in the dust, unable to beat Poland this Tuesday (1-1). Neutralized, she will be content with second place in her group and a much more complicated picture on paper.
Opportunities galore, the Blues took the match in the right direction, but never managed to shake the net. To gain the upper hand, they had to count on a penalty offered on a plate by the Polish defense. However, Didier Deschamps has no regrets at the final whistle of this match with a draw (1-1): “Regrets, you live with them. We did what we could do. Of course, we could have done better in terms of efficiency, even if the opposing goalkeeper had a great match and made some very good saves. It would have been nice to take cover with a two-goal lead after our opening goal, but we didn’t manage to do that. We therefore end the group stage with this draw, and with a qualificationinsists the coach of the France team, who continues. Frustration? No. We wanted first place, yes, but for that we had to win. The moment we failed to do it, we couldn’t get it. So we have to accept it. We have to appreciate what we have done. We are qualified, and a new competition begins. The first objective has been achieved, see you on July 1st »he recalled on the microphone of TF1.
The refrain is far from being similar for Adrien Rabiot: “The evening was frustrating, we didn’t put in enough to win. We had everything between our feet and we didn’t do enough. The goalkeeper was good, we had good opposition, but we have to do a lot better to score, we still have this efficiency problem. We did not reach the goal of first place », he exclaimed, undoubtedly sharing the feeling of the entire locker room, particularly Mike Maignan. The former LOSC goalkeeper had stopped the first penalty hit by Robert Lewandowski, but was not on his line after several stops in the race of the last named.
