Despite the great victory won in Italy (1-3) on Sunday, Didier Deschamps took care to respond to the severe criticism of which he has been the subject for many months.
The French team finished the year well. Three days after a guilty draw against Israel at the Stade de France (0-0), the Blues won in Italy (1-3), thereby validating their first place in their group. And if the game offered by the vice-world champions in Milan was not necessarily exciting, Didier Deschamps could be delighted with the face displayed by his troops.
However, the French coach appeared somewhat marked at the end of the meeting.
“You can say whatever you want, but that’s okay. I'm disconnected, so that suits me just fine.”he first said at the microphone of TF1 in a still light tone, adding:
“You can say whatever you want, but that’s okay. I'm offline, so that's fine with me. »
Didier Deschamps recognizes weariness
Speaking at the microphone of La Chaîne L'Equipe, Didier Deschamps was more verbose about these criticisms which are overwhelming him. “I'm realistic, I know that people have been tired of seeing my face for 12 years. I am in contact with the everyday world. I’m not going to hide when things aren’t going well or things aren’t going well”he whispered, appearing genuinely affected
And Didier Deschamps recalls the many changes with which the Blues must deal.
“With everything that has been done in recent years and being at the top, that leads to an expectation, a requirement. But players change, and it takes time to make the transition.”he whispered after pointing out that France is not the only great nation to suffer.
“You know, when we drew against Israel, did you see what Brazil and Argentina did? A draw for the Brazilians and a defeat for the Argentines. We can't win every match.”he said.
