Former France team coach Raymond Domenech mocked the performance of the Blues during their defeat in Germany (2-1) on Tuesday evening in a friendly match.
“ Proof by absurdity against Germany’s worst team of all time », We could read on X. Raymond Domenech couldn’t help himself. The coach of the French team from 2004 to 2010, so controversial at the time (and at the origin of the Knysna mutiny in South Africa), pointed out the performance of the Blues during the friendly match against Germany, Tuesday in Dortmund. For a 2-1 defeat.
Deprived of Kylian Mbappé (preserved due to knee pain), Didier Deschamps’ team conceded the opening score against this Mannschaft in full crisis (Hansi Flick was fired last Sunday). Thomas Müller deceived Mike Maignan, who had not yet conceded a goal with the Blues in 2023. The reigning world vice-champions then struggled to be dangerous and did not have any success in the set phase.
Kolo Muani targeted?
Before the end of the game (and the 2nd German goal signed Leroy Sané, in the 87th minute, and the penalty converted by Antoine Griezmann, in the 89th), Domenech offered a second analysis of the match: “ confirmation, there are blue starters who risk nothing after the performance of the substitutes this evening “.
A criticism which was probably aimed at Randal Kolo Muani, aligned at the forefront in the absence of Olivier Giroud and in great difficulty during 64 minutes of play during this return to Germany. Domenech did not mention the young striker, whom he had under his command during his furtive visit to FC Nantes from December 26, 2020 to February 11, 2021.
