The coach of the French team, Didier Deschamps, measures the impact of his choices on his team every day.
It is said that the functions of coach and selector are two very different jobs. Didier Deschamps can attest to this. Very comfortable in his suit on the bench of the France team, the Blues coach is delighted to be able to draw from a fantastic pool. A situation that allows him to have many alternatives in emergency situations.
An example illustrated the striking force of the French team. The scene took place a little over a year ago. The Blues then faced Morocco in the semi-final of the World Cup. Jostled to great lengths by the African nation, the tricolors, who led 1-0, managed to take cover by making the break through Randal Kolo Muani. A very strong moment for the native of Bondy.
When a choice from Deschamps pushes a player to the brink of tears
In an interview with the media Gaffer, the current Paris Saint-Germain striker underlined the extent to which his coach's decision to throw him into this big match had impacted him emotionally. “Honestly, I wanted to cry. I was so happy.”
A feeling which inevitably contrasted with the frustration of his big missed opportunity in the extra time of the epic final against Argentina (3-3, 2-4 tab), a few days later… Despite this unfortunate outcome, Randal Kolo Muani took a lot of time to analyze this action.
