After much criticism, especially in his homeland, which accompanied his path to the semi-final, based above all on the game and the offensive production that the French team was able to offer in this European Championship, Didier Deschamps he returns home to a Spain that has shown itself superior.
At the end of the match, the coach answered questions in the press conference, also speaking about his future on the bench of the Blue
: “Future? Ask the president, I just lost a semi-final. I won’t answer you, but you know very well what the president thinks” – concluded the coach.
Deschamps then spoke about the decline of two key players such as Mbappe And Griezmann: “It was due to several reasons: the end of the season, then the broken nose… Although we reached the semi-final against a team of great quality. I’m not looking for excuses. Although we started the match scoring, Spain had a lot of quality and showed that they are a great team. We lacked verticality, but I can’t blame my players for anything, even if many were not one hundred percent for various reasons.”
For Deschamps, there was a problem of lack of determination: “I had seen it, but we reached the semi-final. Everyone will do their own analysis, but it is clear that we did not have one hundred percent of our potential.”
