While the French team will face Ukraine and Iceland, respectively this Friday and Tuesday, September 9, for the start of qualifications at the 2026 World Cup, Didier Deschamps appeared in front of the media on Monday. The coach of the Blues took the opportunity to assert his position in the face of the criticisms he has suffered regularly since taking office in 2012, explaining that they do not affect him at all.
“At one point, we are fed up with your face. It's French. I feel like I'm doing my farewell … Yes, it's the last year. Afterwards, the criticisms, there have always been. Everyone can have different opinions, I never look back. Could I have done things differently? Yes. Would it have happened better? Maybe. I have choices, responsibilities. Today's truth may not be the same in a month. In football, the sanction falls every three days. I am completely waterproof to everything outside. Players are more or less sensitive. I have no problem with the analyzes. There is only one limit not to be crossed: the human terrain. If we go beyond this line, it's no longer the same thing. But that never prevented me from sleeping or acting in the interest of the French team. ”
