The France team disappointed again at Euro 2024 this Tuesday against Poland. The result worries and begins to annoy in the locker room.

The French team therefore finished second in its group behind Austria following its draw against Poland on Tuesday! Didier Deschamps’ men will have to considerably raise their level of play to go far in Euro 2024. The lack of efficiency is becoming very problematic, as is the level displayed by certain players. Moreover, certain choices by Didier Deschamps are starting to annoy more than one in the Blues locker room.

The group under tension, Deschamps responsible?

According to the latest information from The team, things have been heating up internally in recent hours in the French team. Antoine Griezmann, for example, did not take well to starting as a substitute against Poland and remains very bitter. His feeling is shared by part of the group, who did not understand his downgrading. In addition, the overall shaky physical state is not well received by the French team. For some players, the lack of rhythm is due to too much lack of intensity during training. The recent exit of Youssouf Fofana after the draw against Poland was also a step in this direction. Finally, Deschamps will have to very quickly keep his group mobilized. Those who haven’t played yet have it bad and are experiencing frustration. This is the case for Warren Zaire-Emery and Ferland Mendy. The latter also warmed up for long minutes during France-Poland but did not have a minute to get his teeth into it. Before the French team’s round of 16, there is confusion in the France group. The time is no longer for smiles but for work, otherwise we risk experiencing another XXL disappointment in a European Championship.
