Didier Deschamps’ Blues have never lost a warm-up match before a World Cup. But there has to be a first. And this took place this evening, at La Beaujoire, against Côte d’Ivoire (1-2). After a very good first period, the French were surprised upon returning from the locker room by Emerse Faé’s men. A defeat which will perhaps allow us to put our heads straight, but which above all has sowed a wave of panic among French supporters, a few days before the start of the World Cup.
