The French team did not shake at the Parc des Princes. On behalf of the fifth day of the Euro 2024 qualifiers in Germany, the Blues overpowered Ireland in the Ile-de-France den (2-0) thanks to goals from Tchouameni and Thuram. At the microphone of TF1, the coach, Didier Deschamps, hoped for greater success against the Boys in Green: “I can not complain. My players are doing what it takes, even if we could have put in a little more tonight too, but I’m not going to be choosy, against an opponent who was very aggressive. It’s not easy to find solutions, we were much more dangerous than in the first leg there (1-0, editor’s note), fortunately. So that’s very good.”
15 points acquired out of 15 possible, the clear tricolor continues before facing Germany in a friendly in Dortmund in five days. Nevertheless, the 54-year-old technician does not want to relax and is waiting for the next qualifying round against the Oranjes: “We continue to breathe. After everyone will appreciate, these are three more points that bring us closer. We only have 9 left to take, but it depends on the others. Even if we are qualified, we will have to win the other matches. The next is the prestige match against Germany. In October, it will be in the Netherlands. In the meantime, we will appreciate, we have a little time before this match against Germany, so congratulations to the whole group for this week.
