The French team produced a fairly encouraging June rally. Present in the Final Four of the League of Nations, the Blues were swept away from Spain in the semi-finals. Even if the French were swept away for almost an hour, their bar of honor during the last half hour and under the leadership of Rayan Cherki offers interesting perspectives for the future. The victory in the match for 3rd place against a Germany who was playing at home this Sunday (2-0) confirmed that the Blues had attractive ammunition for the future. In the game intentions, Didier Deschamps' flocks displayed more offensive and the two meetings were generally pleasant to follow. An important improvement for Christophe Dugarry. Not hesitating to castigate Didier Deschamps, his former teammate in selection, in the past, the former Bordeaux was much more magnanimous this Monday on the air RMC ::
“”I am delighted with the two games I saw, and even more delighted with the second. For what? Because I thought that Deschamps would have quickly used this negative result against Spain and the number of occasions conceded to immediately return to a system where you left with three defensive environments and half of the attackers who do not attack. But he stayed in the same intentions. I have called her for my wishes forever, so I'm not going to deny now. To say that there are things to improve, that this team must find many more automatisms, okay. That defensively it was a disaster, okay too. And that there is a whole balance to find, yes. But I find the starting point fantastic. I prefer to watch the French team play like that, even when it does not go well as in the first period against Germany. He finds himself putting Marcus Thuram on the left side, Kolo Muani on the right, he played with Cherki in number 10 … I liked the intentions. You have to move forward. I am delighted to have seen the French team play like that. Even if there is a lot of work. (…) I find that his attempts were more than interesting. I think the players themselves were surprised, and I think they prefer that. I only see positive, even if the results have not necessarily been up to par. Maybe Deschamps, during the courses, will also have to work a little more the offensive aspect of this team … We will have to work this coordination. (…) There are performance to improve, but again I have nothing to complain about what I saw.»»
