Coach Didier Deschamps: 'I worry about Mbappe... but he has to protect himself'

Báo Thanh niênBáo Thanh niên25/06/2024


With 4 points after 2 matches, the French team is currently ranked second in Group D. Coach Didier Deschamps' team has the same number of points as the Netherlands but has a lower goal difference (the French team has 1 goal while the Netherlands has 2 goals). In the final round, the "Gaul Rooster" only has to face Poland - the first team eliminated at EURO 2024, so experts believe that the French team will not have much difficulty winning. More importantly, the team in hexagon shirts must score many goals in this match because they will most likely have to continue to compare the goal difference with the Netherlands to determine the top position.

Coach Didier Deschamps was cautious: “The last match of the group stage is very important. The goal of the French team is to win and take the top spot. It will be very difficult if we finish the group stage in second place. Tomorrow you will see many changes in my team. Maybe the best players will be on the field.”

Coach Deschamps wants the French team to win big to take the top spot.

France's number 1 star Mbappe is certainly one of the players who receives a lot of attention from the media. Real Madrid's new signing suffered a nose injury and had to sit out the match against the Netherlands. Mbappe's absence caused the French team's attack to lack innovation. Antoine Griezmann missed many opportunities while Marcus Thuram received the lowest score of the match, failing to meet expectations. Therefore, French fans are eagerly waiting for Mbappe's return.

According to Le Parisien , Mbappe has just returned to play after a broken nose injury while playing for the French national team in a friendly match against U.21 Paderborn on June 22. He scored and assisted for the French national team in the above-mentioned practice match. Mbappe's recovery speed after the nose incident in the match against Austria surprised many medical experts of the French national team. Most likely, Mbappe will be in the starting lineup for the match against Poland.

Coach Didier Deschamps said about Mbappe: “Mbappe's condition is gradually improving. The hematoma has been reabsorbed and he is getting used to wearing the mask. I really hope Mbappe is fit enough to play against Poland.

However, I am quite worried about Mbappe. His breathing is not a problem but his vision is. Therefore, I hope Mbappe knows how to protect himself in the disputes. In some situations, I have to calculate clearly. You may see Mbappe not playing in the center. He will also limit the one-on-one disputes.

Notably, in the final match of the group stage, the French team will most likely not use Antoine Griezmann. L'Equipe reported that this player is showing signs of being overloaded and coach Deschamps wants his student to rest. If this happens, this will be the first time since 2016 that Antoine Griezmann has not participated in an official match of the French team.

"Griezmann played better in the second match against the Netherlands. He had two clear chances but didn't score. If he had succeeded in one of the two, the game would have completely changed. Griezmann has had a busy season. These are high-level matches so it's not easy for him," coach Deschamps shared when asked about Antoine Griezmann.
