‘We don’t even have Mbappe,’ France coach tells 10 million French TV fans
“You’re bored? Turn the channel” in response to criticism of performance
France national soccer team coach Didier Deschamps, 55, has finally exploded.
France will face Poland in their final Group D match at Euro 2024 at the BVB Stadion Dortmund in Dortmund, Germany, on June 26 at 1:00 am. With one win and one draw, France is second in the group behind the Netherlands (W4) on goal difference. Poland is in danger of elimination with two losses.
Before the tournament, France was touted as a strong favorite to win the tournament. However, they haven’t played as well as expected. They barely beat Austria 1-0 in the first round and were held scoreless by the Netherlands in the second round.
The loss of their ‘ace’ Kylian Mbappe has been a major factor. Mbappe suffered a broken nose against Austria. He was hit hard in the face by Kevan Sansou’s shoulder during a contested aerial ball, fracturing his nose. With his jersey stained with blood, Mbappe was eventually substituted by Olivier Giroud. After leaving the field, Mbappe headed straight to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with a broken nose.
“Some pundits and fans have criticized the Loblaws’ performance as boring,” according to the BBC.
During the pre-match press conference against Poland, coach Didier Deschamps reacted to the criticism. “We had a lot of chances to score and it’s a shame we didn’t score,” he said, adding, “We were dominant for a long time in each game and created five or six 토토사이트 chances.”
“I know there are a lot of fans in the stadium cheering and there are over 10 million French fans in front of the TV. But if you don’t like it, you have to change the channel,” he complained. “The lack of goals is definitely a minus,” he added. The Frenchman’s anger at the lack of goals was unleashed when he was criticized for not scoring more goals amid the injury woes of Mbappe.
“Every game is difficult,” Deschamps said. You 바카라사이트 순위 saw yesterday against Germany and Switzerland (1-1 draw), there are no easy games,” Deschamps reiterated.
The good news is that Mbappe’s return is not far off. Mbappe played with a face mask in a scrimmage against Germany’s U-21 team in Paderborn two days ago and scored two goals and two assists. “Mbappe is getting used to wearing the mask,” Deschamps said. His return will help us score goals and win games,” Deschamps said.
