Target of criticism after the victory of the French team in the Netherlands (1-2) on Friday evening, Randal Kolo Muani can count on the support of his coach.

Preferred over Olivier Giroud and Marcus Thuram to occupy the forefront of the French attack on Sunday evening in Amsterdam, where the Blues dominated the Netherlands (1-2) in the Euro 2024 qualifiers, Randal Kolo Muani does not didn’t really show himself to his advantage. Enough to earn him numerous criticisms for several days.

During a press conference this Monday, on the sidelines of facing Scotland in a friendly match, Didier Deschamps defended the new PSG striker, but also recognized that he was not currently going through his best period.

“Everything happened very quickly for him”

“With your criticism it’s not going to go in the right direction… Randal isn’t doing everything right, DD said. Before the World Cup, few people thought he would be with us. He followed up with good things. Everything happened very quickly for him. On the field, he always has the same will and the same availability. He is judged on his efficiency and he has a good margin of improvement at that level, he knows it. Touch ? No, I don’t think so, because he’s still relatively calm. But I repeat, everything happened very quickly for him. »
