The French team therefore finished on the podium of the League of Nations,
in third place. Three days after being eliminated by Spain after a crazy match (5-4), the Blues won the small final against Germany (2-0).
Often very critical of Didier Deschamps, Christophe Dugarry this time favorable to tricolor coach. “I am delighted with the two matches 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 ”said the sports consultant on RMC.
The former striker nevertheless recognizes that the Blues have progress to make: “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 ”.
Dugarry positive with Deschamps
Christophe Dugarry draws up a globally positive assessment of this last tricolor rally. “I am delighted to have seen the French team play like thathe confesses. 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. »»
From now, Didier Deschamps will prepare the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. In their group, the Blues will be opposed to Ukraine, Iceland and Azerbaijan. They will then play dams in March in the event of second place.
