The Blues armada impresses
A French team “disappointing” as illustrated in the newspaper The Team ! The Blues ended their American tour in the best possible way by winning 3-1 against Colombia, despite the total turnover made by Didier Deschamps. The 11 players changed at kick-off, but that did not prevent the French team from deploying its game, being impressive offensively and scoring three goals against the Colombians overwhelmed by the talent of the Blues. For the 10th time in a row, Didier Deschamps’ players have scored at least two goals in a match, a good series which is confirmed, even when the headliners start on the sidelines. “The spring of promises” adds the daily after a more than successful gathering for the France team. Didier Deschamps and his players won both matches in style and against two quality teams. In addition to the successes, the lesson to be learned is that there are very many of them applying for a place in the United States. What an impressive reservoir for Didier Deschamps! Yesterday, it was Désiré Doué, author of a double, and Marcus Thuram who scored the three French goals, although they were relegated to substitute status in the hierarchy. Very good performance also from Maghnes Akliouche who is gradually establishing himself in this French team after a somewhat timid start. The Monegasque was very available, technically accurate and above all comfortable in the last gesture. Same thing for Rayan Cherki who was at the level without doing too much. And the press does not fail to highlight this maddening pool. “Seduced and exciting” title of the newspaper Le Figaro. And optimism crosses borders. “France has two teams”headlines the newspaper Marca. If the reigning European champion advances as the favorite for the next World Cup, he knows that the French team will be there and one of the teams to beat at the World Cup.

The press worried about Tottenham
Igor Tudor’s adventure at Tottenham officially ended yesterday. Spurs announced the departure of the technician by mutual agreement after only 44 days at the head of the London club. The Croatian will never have been able to raise the bar of a club which is sinking into the depths of the Premier League. The English press is far from being kind about the passage of Igor Tudor ” horrible “ as written by Daily Mirror. The comparison is quite crazy, but here is what we can read in the columns of the English media: “There has been a popular debate among fans about whether Tottenham being relegated would be a crazier story than Leicester winning the title in 2016.” THE Daily Mail extends this thought by explaining that Igor Tudor left Spurs on the edge of the abyss. Called as a firefighter on duty, the former OM coach failed to get his message across and history begins to repeat itself when we observe these latest experiences. The Tudor method is brutal and certainly not suitable for saving a club at the bottom of the hole and with low morale. Apart from an anecdotal victory against Atlético de Madrid, Igor Tudor has not won a single match with Tottenham. Now, Spurs have 72 hours to save the club and find a new coach.
Tension rises in Italy
Tension is only rising in Italy on the eve of the play-off final against Bosnia. A place in the World Cup is at stake and after missing the last two, the Squadra Azzurra is playing big. Gennaro Gattuso has already explained that this is the most important match of his career and it will be played in a hostile climate, even more so after the controversial video of the Italian players who celebrated Bosnia’s qualification. Beyond the public who will be up to the event, Bosnia will also count on its favorite forty-year-old: Edin Dzeko. The Schalke 04 striker just celebrated his 40th birthday on March 17 and he remains the main threat for Italy. Dzeko has an impressive career and he is still professional, including when it comes to healthy living. So many details which are enough to frighten the Italian defense which has less experience than the former Manchester City scorer.
