A missed start to the school year for the French team. At the Parc des Princes, Didier Deschamps’ team got its Nations League campaign off to the worst possible start by losing to Italy (3-1) this Friday. Despite a flying start and 20 enticing minutes, the Blues gradually lost the thread of the match as they were overturned by the Italians. At the final whistle, Antoine Griezmann highlighted the superiority of the Italians and pointed the finger at French largesse.
“They were better. We weren’t good in pressing and defensively. We’ll have to work and review all that. I don’t know how to explain it, we started well, but we didn’t know how to fix it when their central defender came to play in six, that caused a lot of problems. We’ll have to do better against Belgium to continue“, said the Atlético de Madrid player to the microphone of TF1.
