Didier Deschamps’ enemies will be disappointed again.
France-Belgium will not hasten the fall of the coach of the Blues in place since the summer of 2012. Whatever the result of this meeting of the 2nd day of the League of Nations, barring an apocalyptic shipwreck, DD will keep the confidence of Philippe Diallo.
The president of the French Football Federation (FFF) was quite explicit about the future of the 55-year-old technician, a subject put back on the table after the defeat conceded on Friday evening against Italy at the Parc des Princes (1-3). Didier is under contract until 2026 so the question is not relevant today. “, the leader confided to the Figaro.
The League of Nations as a laboratory
And to make things clear, Noël le Graët’s successor explained Didier Deschamps’ plan, after Euro 2024, which was also the subject of much criticism aimed at the poor play of the French team, despite a semi-finalist place.
” I think he will use this League of Nations to prepare for our major objective: the 2026 World Cup. We are building the team so that the Blues can be there in the United States. “, continues Philippe Diallo, in the columns of the right-wing media.
Clauss will pass his turn
Didier Deschamps put forward this argument to explain, in part, the nervousness of the defense against the Italians against whom Clauss and Konaté were starters, unlike the defense lined up at the Euro (Koundé, Upamecano, Saliba, Hernandez).
“If I go in peace, I’ll put the four of the Euro,” Deschamps decides. I consider this to be the time to give playing time to as many players as possible with these close encounters. »
