The head coach of the French noted that the team had an unsuccessful first hour of the game
France head coach Didier Deschamps commented on the final match World Cup 2022 in Qatar.
“We didn’t have a game for the first 60 minutes. The opponent showed quality, aggressiveness, we were worse for various reasons. Against all odds, we came back from nowhere, turning a very bad situation around, which makes us even more regretful.”
“If, after losing 2-0, we immediately conceded the third goal, we would not have such regrets, we would just congratulate the opponent. There were many emotions, but the end was cruel. We were close, but we didn’t reach the goal.”
“There are several reasons that led to the fact that we were worse, we lost several important players. Despite everything, we gave ourselves the right to dream. But it didn’t come true.”
“The refereeing could be worse, it could be better, there are decisions that can lead to discussion, as it happens in all matches. I do not deprive Argentina of their merit in winning this World Cup. I spoke with the referee after the game, but I won’t go into details. Congratulations to the Argentina national team.”
The Argentina national team became the world champion, defeating France in the penalty shootout. The main and additional time ended in a draw (3:3), and in the penalty shoot-out the French failed to score twice (4:2).
