The defeat of the French team in Germany (1-2) is a setback for Didier Deschamps’ team, which had not yet lost in 2023.
“ The last defeat hurt a lot…“. At the microphone of TF1, Aurélien Tchouaméni grimaced while remembering the last setback conceded by the France team. In reality, the midfielder’s words were not accurate, since France-Argentina, the epic World Cup final in Qatar, cannot be considered a defeat. The Blues only lost on penalties after winning overtime (3-3, 2-4 tab).
This Tuesday, in Germany, the French team was beaten according to the rules of the art after an insufficient and lackluster performance. An evening especially weighed down by the start of the match. Kingsley Coman, who knows the strengths of the Mannschaft perfectly, recognized that the opponent was certainly driven by greater motivation due to the context.
“Sometimes it’s like that, they had a lot of desire…”
“I think the early goal doesn’t help us going into this game. Afterwards, there were very few chances, but I think that, overall, we had a good match. Both goals hurt us, explained the French winger on TF1. Sometimes it’s like that. They are at home. They had a lot of desire. Afterwards, they are in a situation which is totally different from ours. It wasn’t a life or death match. It was a match where they needed to improve. We entered the match in a different way and that didn’t help us. »
