FRENCH TEAM. After the very poor campaign in June, we are heading back to school and preparing for the World Cup for the France team.
[Mis à jour le 14 juin 2022 à 09h31] Four games, two defeats and two draws, as much to say that the balance sheet of the French team for the kick-off of the League of Nations was catastrophic. A balance sheet assumed by Didier Deschamps at a press conference. “From the moment we haven’t done enough, we have to make our own self-criticism. I don’t see everything black or white. The results also prove us wrong because we haven’t done enough . I hope we can recover our strengths and the players, their fighting spirit. Have some seen themselves too beautiful? It’s not the individual that matters to me but the strength that the group must release We didn’t meet the high level requirements on this rally because we didn’t have the capabilities.”
See you now in September for the Blues with the last two matches of the League of Nations against Austria and Denmark before starting the World Cup 2022 in Qatar against Australia, as in 2018, on November 22 at 8 p.m.
