After a perfectly controlled week, concluded with a victory against Colombia (1-3) a few days after the success against Brazil (1-2), Didier Deschamps was satisfied at a press conference. The Blues coach praised the performances of his group against two quality opponents, while calling for them to remain measured. “What is the outcome of this tour, after this 3-1 success against Colombia? Very positive compared to the two matches. Facing two great teams. It didn’t have much to do with two friendly matches. With a lot of aggressiveness, responding. The eleven showed a lot of quality. Two good reps. We are not going to see ourselves more beautiful than we are”he blurted.
The coach also highlighted the involvement of his entire squad, in a context of strong competition in the run-up to the 2026 World Cup, emphasizing the importance of these two matches in establishing his future list. “The players all took advantage of their playing time. That will bring us elements for the list. Is it because the World Cup is coming that this gathering in March mobilized your players? A little perhaps. They know very well that there is a lot of competition. They have the advantage of being there and putting together things that go their way. This double repetition on the ground brought very positive responses”added Didier Deschamps.
