The upturn will have been short -lived for the French team.

We want Zidane right away !! “,” The French football team must disgust Deschamps as a coach and bring in Zidane “,” strongly Zidane, fed up with Didier Deschampsi “,” Thank you Deschamps, but strongly Zidane “… These are some of the messages posted by supporters of the Blues
