The French team expected better for its return to the Stade de France. Didier Deschamps’ men were held in check by Israel (0-0) this Thursday, as part of the 5th day of the Nations League. If the Blues had overall possession of the ball, they came up against the tight block of their opponents for a long time and the multiple saves of the goalkeeper, Daniel Peretz. In the post-match press conference, “DD” did not hide his frustration, believing that his team should have won.
“ No, we could have done more against a very grouped opponent who gained a lot of time. We had the chances to win that match, but we didn’t have the efficiency. Our first half was too quiet. I can’t be satisfied with what we’ve done. We should have won, we are capable of doing better. There was a lot more energy in the second half, without opening the score. Yes, I told them, that’s not what was planned. We took too long in the transmissions. We didn’t make a difference through passing or dribbling, or too little. We started timidly, on tiptoe », Analyzed the coach of the Blues. Officially qualified for the quarter-finals of the competition, France will face Italy this Sunday at San Siro (Milan), in this “final” of group 2 of route A.
