After a sad face shown in Croatia, the French team lost in the first leg 2-0 and complicated the task for a qualification in the semi-finals of the League of Nations. But after a remobilization, Didier Deschamps' men showed a much better state of mind and imposed themselves at the Stade de France thanks to the achievements of Michael Olise and Ousmane Dembélé, before a masterclass of Mike Maignan with penalties to allow the Blues to qualify at the end of the night.
After the meeting, Didier Deschamps was very satisfied with the state of mind of his players: “The main thing was to believe it after the sad result. There was everything you needed in the first leg, but we did not succeed. We analyzed everything before preparing, we had to prepare and take the 80,000 people with us, it was a real audience of supporters. We needed this. Tonight, we had a big match, we hoped to qualify before the shots on goal, but hey. You have to appreciate after this complicated situation. We have quality players, there is youth and we were against a beautiful team. This must be used for this young group before the next deadline. ”he assured on TF1.
