Didier Deschamps is criticized for the lack of attractiveness of the game proposed by the French team. Several former France 98 players have spoken out to give their point of view.
Even though he reached the semi-finals of Euro 2024 with Les Bleus, Didier Deschamps has attracted new criticism for the spectacle put on by his team. And the trend started again in early September, during the last gathering. First opposed to Italy in a Nations League group match, the French were unrecognizable and logically lost (1-3). Three days later, the victory against Belgium (2-0) calmed things down a little, but the detractors of the style of play advocated by the coach still continued to criticize him. Other observers also gave their point of view.
In comments relayed on Wednesday by RMCRobert Pirès spoke about the situation and defended his former France 92 teammate. What bothers me is that today we don’t have any technical players. “A finding to better explain that Didier Deschamps would in reality be a collateral victim of certain choices made by the French Football Federation.” We have very good players, but they are all the same. (…) I am talking about the Federation, the DTN. Perhaps we need to change the training which is no longer based on technique. »
“What can he do about it?”
And Robert Pirès expressed his support for Didier Deschamps. We shouldn’t just blame the coach. Today, the coach is in place, he is there, but if he doesn’t have technical players who can make a difference, what can he do about it? Not much… “But the former FC Metz and Arsenal player added: ” Maybe it’s up to him to bring a bit of freshness, to find other players. “But with the help of the FFF. Also invited to give his opinion, Youri Djorkaeff was direct: ” Games like the one against Italy, it shouldn’t happen, we have to say what is. Whether it’s Didier or not Didier, when the team plays badly, we have to say it. »
For the “Snake” there is no danger in the long run either.
In cycles there are always ups and downs, but we can’t say that this is a big down either. “We will now have to wait for the next gathering of the Blues scheduled for next October (October 10 against Israel and October 14 against Belgium) to see where the French are at.
