Didier Deschamps does not only have detractors… Under fire from criticism since the end of Euro 2024, the French coach has received the support of Dimitri Payet. For the former Marseillais, the FFF did well to extend the lease of “DD” until 2026, still considering the latter as “the man for the job”.
“ There will always be harsher criticism of the quality of the French team’s play. But today, we still have the man for the job. For me, he is someone who obviously gave a lot to the France team as a player, but also as a coach, and who won with the France team », Launched the Vasco da Gama player in the show L’Équipe de Greg.
Payet: “You have to be demanding, but you shouldn’t go too quickly”
“ Today, we are moving on to a new generation with many young players arriving, continued the Reunionese. The mayonnaise has to set, but these Nations League matches serve to prepare for the future, the World Cup which is coming. Yes, you have to be demanding, but you shouldn’t go too fast. Keep in mind the real goal, which is the World Cup. I am confident. »
Despite mixed results and poor play, the French team still managed to take the lead in its Nations League group, finishing on a good note in Italy (1-3 victory). Now, the Blues have a meeting with Croatia next March.
