This Monday in Clairefontaine, Didier Deschamps found the 23 Blues summoned for the November gathering. The coach then gave a press conference. The opportunity for him to answer questions from journalists about his players but also on different subjects. The 98 world champion was questioned about the level of Ligue 1, after a twelfth day where only twelve goals were scored in eight matches. A catastrophic outcome. But DD doesn’t worry.
“You have the debates you want. There are only 18 teams, it’s normal that there are fewer goals (laughs). Isn’t that an answer? It’s not just in L1 that there are soporific matches, I tell you. When there are weeks with the European Cup, there is also this predominant athleticism which is always present. I can assure you that in other leagues it’s not always a pleasure to watch from start to finish. Otherwise, I would never have taken so many L1 players. It’s no less good compared to what I can see too.” That’s what it says!
