France - Italy 1:3 Video of goals and review of the National League match After the end of the game, Les Bleus head coach Didier Deschamps commented on the performance of the powerful team.

“We had such a good start, scored an incredibly sweet goal and put a good pressure on Italy. However, it is important to trim such high pressure and intensity, since even before the break I experienced a physical decline among our Gravians. We allowed the pardons, which allowed Italy to compare shells into the pouch.

Having tried high pressure, we opened up space in the upper half, and Italy gave us bad attacking fighters who rose up before the attack. Without a reliable block, it became even more important for us.

Italy is already well defended, and we have miraculous attacking invaders, but you still need to be careful, leaving open spaces, otherwise the stench will give you a blow at the end.

I’m calling for criticism, saying that I’ve won more than lost in my career. I know that the level of our physical preparation is not the greatest, but the young team with Olise and Manu Kone, who debuted at such a level. These are the necessary terms for growth.

I have always clearly understood what we are afraid of. Unfortunately, from the point of view of intensity and physical training, Italy has earned more than today.

I don’t like that our first 20 weeks were so good, and then we were given light before the break,” said the French favet.

In the upcoming round, France will play at home against Belgium, and Italy will visit Israel.
