Didier Deschamps lost his temper in the Blues locker room at half-time of the match against Israel on Thursday evening at the Stade de France.
The French team was not reassured. In a heavy context,
the Blues were hooked Saturday evening in the Nations League, in an almost empty Stade de France, against a modest Israeli team (0-0). A draw which nevertheless allowed the Tricolores to validate their ticket for the quarter-finals of the competition. The only satisfaction of the evening.
After an insipid first period on the part of N'Golo Kanté, captain of the evening, and his partners,
Didier Deschamps raised the tone in the locker room. The coach notably asked his men to put more intensity and aggressiveness into the duels. In a vehement tone.
Deschamps: “They fight like dogs! »
« They fight like dogs! I'm not saying we're not there but we can still be there a little more, eh”thundered “DD” in front of silent players and heads bowed for some, as shown in the images broadcast by Téléfoot this Sunday morning.
“(Be) Strong on the rods! As soon as we can, (we move) forward. We have to hurt them more than that, guys. You know, you are capable of more. There it was a little too tiptoeing”added Deschamps in the same tone. A speech which was not really followed by the facts, the Blues showing themselves incapable of making a difference in the second act.
