The captain of the French national team dedicated the goal to the coach who survived the family tragedy.

The head coach of the French national team, Didier Deschamps, admitted that he was deeply dissatisfied with the team captain Kylian Mbappe in the hour of victory over Sweden with a 3:0 result.. The French forward dedicated his first goal scored to his mentor and lovingly hugged his sideline.

This moment is especially significant for the team. Deschamps quickly turned to the French camp after he was in danger of missing the last match of the group stage due to the death of his mother..

" “He is our captain, and I give a welcoming speech not just for the sake of someone, but for someone who has been clear from the first day,” sharing Desch after the match.

The coach highly appreciated the consistency and concentration of his physical strength for this special period. In contrast, France's statistics at the World Championships look hopeless: the team won all four matches, scoring at least three goals in a hand-to-hand match.

" The stinks collected everything that was needed until I was there, and it was better that I wasn’t there, both for them and for me, and when I turned around, they realized that I was with them, and that’s even better. Team spirit in itself does not win matches, but I already know very well that it can lead to this defeat,” the fakhivet added emphatically.

We also praise Mbappe for sharing with Lionel Messi the status of the tournament's top scorer (6 goals each), Deschamps also praised the addition of Michael Olise. In the match with the Swedes, he produced two assists, bringing his total number of assists in the tournament to five.

" He plays high-class football. He's already had a good season, and even though he needed a little more time to adapt, now there's an incredible impact on the team. “It complements other attackers well, and its understanding on the field becomes automatic,” Deschamps said about Olise’s game..

In the context of the unsatisfied early victories of such important football players as Germany and the Netherlands, France looks as impressed as possible. After a comfortable victory over Sweden, the team now faces the next round of the playoffs - a match against the national team of Paraguay, which will be 4 matches against Philadelphia.

When assessing further prospects, the head coach loses pragmatic focus:.

" Everything was important. We had less difficulties because we had finalized our game plan so well. We know what checks on us every few days. We will have to repeat this performance against a rival with other viciousnesses. But if our talented graves act with such an attitude and seriousness, it’s simply miraculous,” summed up Didier.
