Head coach of the French national team Didier Deschamps explained why his team could not win against Iceland.

Let us remind you that the match between the teams ended with a score of 2:2.

" There were also not enough usual performers - many players did not participate in the match. But those who took to the field did everything they could. That's no excuse though. Games like this allow you to see other players and give them playing time,"

In addition, the coach of the French team also recalled the game of the Ukrainian national team against Iceland.

" In our case, everything turned out the opposite compared to their match against Ukraine on Friday. We made a defensive mistake in the second half, but the opponents had no clear chances to punish us,” he added.

In the next round, the French team will meet with Ukraine. The game is scheduled for November 13.
