Didier Deschamps has not helped his case… Already in the eye of the storm since Euro 2024, the French coach continues to crystallize criticism. It must be said that his French team is not at its best, having just had a disappointing draw against Israel (0-0), this Thursday evening at the Stade de France, in a difficult context it is true.
The day after the match, Jérôme Rothen once again attacked Didier Deschamps harshly, whom he criticized in particular for a glaring lack of ideas. The former Parisian even goes so far as to demand his head. For him, anyone would do better in his place.
“It absolutely changes! »
“ When we see the coach’s attitude, before, during the match, in terms of communication, he doesn’t give off anything. Yesterday’s context was special. I don’t want to blame the players on the pace of the match. When you have the weight of the context, it’s complicated. The team opposite played on their qualities. Where you can blame them is on the technical level. Whoever the coach is, except Didier Deschamps, he would have done better », conceded Rothen on RMC this Friday.
And to add another layer: “ It absolutely changes! How can President Diallo not realize that the team is annoying everyone and that the coach is annoying everyone too? Yesterday, I said we were going to get bored. It did. At half-time, when you are a great coach, when you want to change things, why don’t you change the guys? Why do you let players who drag themselves, who make incredible technical errors? You put Zaire-Emery in number 10 for 70 minutes, what is the message? »
