Didier stays until the end world Cup-2026.

The problem of the French national team has a name

And that name is not Didier. Yes, Deschamps opts for the classic boring “German” style of doing things with two lineups of outstanding athletes. But at the same time he is world champion and winner of the League of Nations. The regalia is enough not to be like Grigoryan, who called Didier’s cautious tactics mediocrity and squalor.

But Deschamps was given too long a contract. The coach failed the final world Cup, and the agreement until the summer of 2026. They wanted to make a decision after listening to Didier’s action plan and discussing the options: they would compare it with Zidane’s plan. Instead, the president of the French Football Federation, Noel Le Gré, alone gave the mentor carte blanche for two major tournaments.

So the problem of French football is called Noel. Grandpa should have retired a long time ago. He has been accused of harassment, the 81-year-old man constantly insinuates about women at work. Girls of different generations, like your daughters, wives and mothers. Grandfather made obscene remarks, discussed a colleague’s breasts with fellow workers – he feels impunity and becomes impudent.

He asked the women forced to work with him to wear short skirts. He touched a colleague on the plane. The game resurfaced last fall, and FFF CEO Florence Hardouin seemed to be covering for the bad boss. How is it possible that an old man, who could also be expelled for harassment tomorrow, single-handedly slapped Deschamps with a 3 1/2 year contract?

Also my grandfather went with a contract until the end of Euro 2024. Didier talked to him, they made another document. If Le Gres is removed tomorrow and the new mentor doesn’t work well with Didier, then who will pay millions of euros in penalties? The correct answer is French taxpayers. The same result will occur if France fails the Euro and Deschamps has to be fired.

Deschamps makes many mistakes

The defeat in the home final of the Euro on the conscience of Deschamps. Lost to Santos, being the favorite. Departure from Switzerland – the mentor missed a certain victory. Failure in the League of Nations group is a stone in the mentor’s garden. Everyone knows Didier’s method: the coach asks to work rigorously off the ball, even Griezmann, but leaves almost total freedom to his favorites in attack without interfering.

Players like Pogba, Mbappe and Giroud don’t care too much about defense. Let Matuidi, Tchouameni and Rabiot plow without the ball. Well, Griezmann, once a patriot wakes up in the French team. They say two Frenchmen are dueling, but three Frenchmen are preparing to surrender. France would go on to win the final world Cup against a stronger opponent from Croatia?

Why did the favorite play tough and cowardly against Morocco, despite the early goal? He scored two goals after three accurate shots. Deschamps was lucky: he did not meet Brazil, Spain and England world Cup-eighteen. Now missing Spain, Brazil and Portugal. Many of his discoveries, like Theo Hernandez on the left, are accidental. Deschamps didn’t want laterals on the wings.

He left Kloss at home, and Luca Hernandez was injured – his side brother played. Kante and Pogba were injured: they put Rabiot and Tchuameni, he suddenly got better. Griezmann, thanks to the contract with Barcelona, ​​\u200b\u200bhad a good rest, sitting on the Atletico bench for the first hour of the match – he saved his strength for the breakthrough of Qatar. Don’t forget the match against England.

The English played better than Deschamps’ team. Southgate, like Scaloni later, beat Didier. It’s just that Kane did not score a penalty, and Tchuameni fired a long-range shot in time. Deschamps’ mistakes are blamed not only by mentors and Grigoryan-level analysts, but also by colleagues. Mourinho, even after Euro 2020, praising the Swiss, noted the hard mistakes of Deschamps.

The French team is prone to self-destruction

France have too good a squad to play Deschamps forever. While Didier can’t be said to be a bad mentor, these people rarely win big cups, except maybe their surname is Rijkaard. But the French have their Ronaldinho, like that Barcelona had Mbappé. I wouldn’t want Deschamps to get bogged down in intrigue and waste the time of Kilian and his colleagues.

The easiest way to explain the example of Benzema. Karim was given his word that he would go to Euro 2016, but then Didier broke his promise. Mbappe lobbied for the interests of a friend – the striker was returned against the wishes of Deschamps, he continued to talk about public opinion, which improved with Benzema’s success at Real Madrid. At the same time, Karim is hated in the French Football Federation.

It seems that specialists were hired to “wet” him with information. Officials asked players not to like Benzema’s posts on social networks and Tchuameni was freaked out by his superiors when he backed up a colleague. At the same time, Deschamps could not properly explain why the sane striker with the Ballon d’Or did not play in the final instead of Randal Kolo.

The young striker failed to score one-on-ones with Martinez, and the manager left seasoned Ben Yedder and Martial at home, not just Benzema. And if it’s true that Deschamps kicked Karim out because he didn’t hear a compliment to his beloved in a solemn speech on the day Karim was awarded the Ballon d’Or, then Didier sat too long on the old throne and will fail .

I can’t see Zidane’s version of this France

Deschamps has always been tough and a bit two-faced, but not on the pitch, where he knew how to manage and lead the team forward. He was a prominent midfielder of the national team, where they argued, hated each other, arranged revelry, slept with the captain’s wife, stupidly flew to weaker opponents, and the coaches chose the composition according to the horoscope. France is creative chaos.

Didier braked him twice, winning world Cup and the League of Nations. But his coaching style is learned and the moves are simple. Didier’s staff is pale, Stefan, Ravio and Mouin are not autonomous like the assistants of the young champion Scaloni. Zidane is also not a coach with a fountain of ideas, but the creativity in him is different, but the will is in place, as we know from Real Madrid’s victories.

The France of Mbappé, Lloris and Deschamps could become the France of Zidane, Benzema, Mbappé and other, more reckless and vibrant football. But since the 81-year-old man came to dinner with 54-year-old Deschamps—who looks years older than he is—for a second, Karpin is only a couple of months younger. We expect nothing new from France and Didier, only the exploitation of the class.

Perhaps this is the greatest strategic blunder in 21st-century French football, even if Deschamps himself is hardly mediocre or miserable. He just gave the team everything he could, and now he’s going to slide into resentment and new scandals. After all, he has been strictly blaming his players for a long time. According to Didier, they lost in the final because five people weren’t ready.

He also blamed it on a certain virus just before. So why let sick people out onto the pitch to make things easier for Argentina? They remember the excuses of those who have been in power for too long, then blame everyone around them for the failures, except themselves. Coach Deschamps rarely admits mistakes. That won’t change: France will be the winless favorites, like the Germans, who have lost many finals.
