Logically winning Azerbaijan on Friday (3-0), the French team could have returned to the locker room at the break without scoring a single goal if Kylian Mbappé had not broken the deadlock thanks to a nice goal after a clever deflection from Hugo Ekitiké. We already suspected it, but Didier Deschamps did not appreciate the first 45 minutes of his players either, as evidenced by the video of his speech in the Blues locker room.
The French coach castigated his players: “If Kylian (Mbappé) doesn't do what he does at the end, we don't put them in difficulty, we are at a standstill. As soon as there is a little movement and speed, yes, it puts them in difficulty. But there are two of us on time! It's not for lack of telling you. At this rate, they won't get tired, and neither will we. In movement and throws, and available, and then dominates, gives the pass, that's where we must be able to build speed, at the start. Come on, you guys owe it to yourself to do better, better and together. We press the switch, we put on the light eh… everyone! » A rant that worked since the Blues came back with better intentions after the break.
