The dull performance of the Blues against Israel (0-0) on Thursday definitively condemns Didier Deschamps, according to many observers.
The controversies surrounding Kylian Mbappé had put the Blues' performances in the background. And all the more so since deprived of its captain, the French team came out with honors in October, dominating Israel in Budapest then winning in Belgium. But, on Thursday, the sad draw (0-0) conceded against the same Israeli team at the Stade de France sent the Blues back to their difficulties for many months and placed Didier Deschamps in the hot seat.
For Romain Beddouk, journalist at France Bleu, the native of Bayonne appears to be primarily responsible for the situation.
“Didier Deschamps spoke of the control we had and still happy that we had possession at home, at the Stade de France. But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is what we do with the ball. And there, we are completely lost. As soon as we cross the halfway line, we lose all inspiration and that's the coach's fault, Didier Deschamps' fault.”he asserted.
“Didier Deschamps, we have to leave now”
And if until the 2022 World Cup, the French coach, extended until 2026 in the wake of the Qatari World Cup, could take refuge behind the results, the situation has changed over the past year. “Of course the players were not good on the pitch. But the players have not been good because there is no framework. And without a framework, players cannot express themselves and must rely on exploitshe whispered, adding: “That the coach thinks so and bases all his success on it shows to such an extent that he is totally overwhelmed for football in 2024. And besides, the French team won less than half of his matches this year. »
“On the ground it is boring, and there is no prospect of improvement, and the results are bad,
he added, clearly campaigning by the departure of the French coach and his replacement by Zinedine Zidane. There are two solutions. Either we stop the bleeding, we thank Didier Deschamps for everything he has done and we offer the opportunity to Zinedine Zidane to take charge of the Blues and rectify the situation before the 2026 World Cup. Either, we continue again and always and the wall will get closer and closer until we take it and say that we have perhaps wasted a generation. Didier Deschamps, out of love for the French team, we must leave now. »
