Thursday evening in Split, there was no photo. Victorious of France in the quarter-final first leg of the League of Nations (2-0), Croatia did not steal its success. Faced with completely transparent tricolors in the first period, Luka Modric's partners enjoyed each other and did not tremble when they had the opportunity to score. Regarding the Blues, the criticisms fell with short -off arms on Didier Deschamps. Pierre Ménès was not the last to point the finger at the coach.

Very present on social networks, the former
“Canal Football Club” delivered a decided opinion on Tiktok. “In order not to lie, just at the composition of the Deschamps team (…), I thought it was out. »» And the journalist wanted to defend certain players while criticizing others. “So obviously, as usual, we type on attackers. I even saw that we had found the (Ousmane) Dembélé of 2024. But explain to me how attackers can score goals in a match where they have to manage on their own? »»

“It's an invention of the demon”

For Pierre Ménès, the team organized by Didier Deschamps was simply not made to allow Kylian Mbappé and others to shine. The fault of an adequate midfielder to feed French offensive. “The midfielder concocted by Deschamps: Tchouameni, Guendouzi, Rabiot. It is an invention of the demon. These are three guys who are there to work, to defend. There is not one that makes a quality pass in a match, not one that is inventive only once. It's dramatic. »»

And the observer to decide: “This match is very end of reign 'for Deschamps. In addition it has the impression that the guy is jaded, that he is fed up, that he is even a little rinsed. That break problem for the future. Not to play or not the Final Four of the League of Nations, that everyone bumps out. But for the rest, notably the 2026 World Cup where it will imperatively have to find a creative environment. And we have them. We (desired) gifted, we cherki, we have akliouche. We will have to throw them now, shit. »»
