Walid Acherchour has not digested France’s defeat against Italy and the management of Didier Deschamps, whom he does not spare.
Didier Deschamps has not been spared from criticism, after the French team’s defeat against Italy on Friday night at the Parc des Princes. Clearly dominated in the second half, the Blues suffered tactically against the Squadra Azzurra, which provoked anger and incomprehension from some consultants. This is the case of Walid Acherchour, who also officiates on DAZN and RMC, who let out a rant in the Winamax Football Club. In his eyes, Deschamps is outdated and is probably no longer the man for the job, at least on a tactical level.
“Even during the Euro, it wasn’t working on the game systems. Griezmann, he knows at 9am that he’s going to play winger against Belgium and that was the case throughout the Euro. The guys are self-managing. When are we going to say that it’s not normal? Let’s stop finding excuses. Did you see the tactical aspect of the match? (…) Today, Spalletti is giving him Plan A, Plan B, he doesn’t know what to do anymore, apart from position for position.
“Griezmann learns at 9am that he will play winger”
Tactically, he has done some great things in his career, but today Didier Deschamps is burned out. In three oppositions, Italy, Germany, Spain, you have no answers. It is not a story of football style or of sparkling football. However, you have better players. You have a breeding ground, but you cannot use it. (…)
There, it is no longer a story of spectacle and subjectivity. Out of the last 11 matches, the French team has won 4. That was his famous recipe: he wins, he is the druid. He can no longer fall back on that..
Didier Deschamps has been in office for 12 years, with 101 victories in 160 matches, a world champion title, a World Cup final lost against Argentina and a Euro final lost against Portugal.
