One thing is certain, the Blues no longer manage to ignite the crowds and the new gloomy copy rendered against the Nazionale only reinforces this feeling.

And the former Marseille technician is far from being worried.
“He has a contract until 2026, he is meeting the objectives and giving satisfaction”said in particular the one who describes DD as the “greatest coach in the history of the French team”. And to conclude: “Everything in its own time. That’s not my state of mind. The question of the moment, and I liked this word from Didier Deschamps, is to reoxygenate the team. This reoxygenation is Didier Deschamps’ desire and I share it. I think he will use this Nations League to prepare for our major objective, the 2026 World Cup.
