The French coach, Didier Deschampsfeatured his team’s “collective strength” and “resistance” in the quarterfinals of Qatar World Cup against England and warned of the danger of his rival, Moroccofor a place in the final.
“Few people can wait Morocco in the semifinals of worldBut if you look at what they’ve done, the opponents they’ve beaten and only conceded one goal, it’s no surprise. They have options to reach the final. If they are here because of their merit, no one can deny it,” he said.
“This is a historic moment for them. At this point they are no longer a surprise. They had a high-quality competition. You always have to give credit to the team that won and qualified,” he said.
The French coach said “England it’s a great team, because of what they did on a technical level and the intensity they put in. Despite everything, we gave them two penalties and a couple of fouls on the edge of the area. It is true that in front of a team like this it is difficult, but it is necessary to improve”, signaled.
Deschamps is happy to meet the minimum goal set for him by the president of his federation, but he does not want to say whether that will determine his future. “Now we will taste it, there will be time to think about the future,” he said.
“We are happy with what we did, but we are not satisfied. The history of the defending champion in recent years is not very good. We are changing, but we still have a long way to go,” he commented.
