Having been maltreated for their overall performance at the Euro, the Blues received an apology this Sunday.
He did not mince his words in his analysis, severely criticizing Didier Deschamps’ French team, which was pushed out of the Euro 2024 final by Spain. France has an extraordinary selection but it needs to run a lot, and when the spaces are reduced, it does not find attacking channels, despite enormous individual abilities. Due to the lack of passers and combination play, the team depends entirely on its solidity and a good day from its soloists. This is not my idea of football “, whispered Jorge Sampaoli in a coaching-focused interview given to So Foot.
In the sights of the Argentinian technician, then, a particularly targeted player: Ousmane Dembélé. The other players are like spectators watching how the action will end. They know they play like an autistic person: he starts the action and finishes it by himself. He does not have the ability to make a teammate shine, he only knows how to make himself shine. “And to conclude regarding the captain of the Blues: ” Mbappé, it’s a bit the same. »
“I apologize to everyone”
Aware of the turmoil thus caused, Jorge Sampaoli made a point of apologizing on social media this Sunday. I never meant to refer to autism. I apologize to everyone. I just wanted to talk about individuality. More than ever, we need to be careful about the words we use… » A word of apology written in Portuguese, Spanish and French in the text.
A welcome speech of appeasement as relations become deleterious between French and Argentinian football players. Witness the denial of the Albiceleste and its supporters in the face of the racist chant against the Blues sung by Enzo Fernandez during the celebrations of the Copa America recently won by Argentina.
