The defeat conceded by France on Friday against Italy in the League of Nations (1-3), has prompted several analysts to speak of the end of the Didier Deschamps era.
It all started well. Barely fifteen seconds into the game, France was already ahead of Italy on Friday evening, for its first match of the new edition of the Nations League. Unfortunately for them, Didier Deschamps’ team then slowly sank and finally lost to the
National (1-3). Without a solution, the French coach was soon targeted by critics, some believing that the page should perhaps be turned.
Consultant for the channel The TeamLudovic Obraniak delivered a point of view that partly goes in this direction. Evoking in particular the midfield pair Kanté-Fofana, very disappointing against the Italians, the former player launched a: ” Your game plan must be adapted to your current ability. » Enough to make Stéphane Guy react, also on the set: ” If I follow you it’s quite simple; we have all the players we need, now we have to fire the coach and things will go much better. (…) Do you think it’s over, is he at the end? »
“What do we do? Do we continue like this?”
In response to this, Ludovic Obraniak continued: “ I’m not saying that. I have great respect for him. (…) I think we have very good players who are less and less well exploited and adapted to Didier Deschamps’ software. I even think there is a weariness. Tonight, he is trying to breathe with Olise, with Koné, but the thing… I don’t know…. There is no longer that magic. Maybe he will find the keys, and I hope so, but the observation is that on this Euro (2024) that we experienced in a way… It was an ordeal, it was painful… So yes, semi-final, it’s true, but it was painful. And there tonight it is painful.

To conclude: ” What do we do? Do we continue like this? » Under contract until 2026, Didier Deschamps is once again under fire from critics, he who did not shirk his responsibilities on Friday evening, repeatedly stating to the press that the defeat was ” his responsibility ” In the meantime, the Blues would be well advised to show a completely different face on Monday evening against Belgium, in Lyon.
