Qualified for the semi-finals of Euro 2024 after winning on penalties against Portugal (0-0, 5-3), but still surrounded by a certain amount of criticism for the game they are expressing: Didier’s France Deschamps wins without overdoing it, even though many say it is the real favorite of this tournament. The solid defense is an important factor for the coach who evidently cares about the substance and the results, which he has been obtaining since the beginning of his mandate.
As reported RMC Sportsseveral players have expressed their opinion on the matter. This is Mbappé’s thought: “It’s difficult to respond to these things, we are euphoric. In the dressing room we don’t think too much about the fact that we are scoring little, but it is clear that we must continue to delve into the issue while maintaining this defensive solidity”.
Teammate Ousmane Dembélé was decidedly more blunt, expressing himself angrily on the same subject: “This is how we play, we are in the semi-finals and that’s enough. As for those who are not happy, well, it’s not our problem. The semi-final is absolutely deserved. Yesterday we had a lot of confidence before taking the penalties. We also trained a bit in training and I think that even the final we lost on penalties at the World Cup served us well for this session”.
