Football News Update: Euro 2024, Champions League, FIFA World Cup, Women’s World Cup, Africa Cup of Nations Standings, Premier League, EFL Cup, EFL Championship, EFL One, EFL Two, and FA Cup
Didier Deschamps, the manager of the French national football team, had an intriguing response following their 0-0 draw against Poland in the Group D match of Euro 2024. Deschamps noted that the unexpected hero of the match was Poland’s reserve goalkeeper, Lukasz Skorupski, who made an impressive seven saves out of France’s eight shots on target.
The draw meant that France had to settle for second place in their group, setting them up for a potential clash against powerhouses like Belgium, Portugal, Spain, or Germany in the knockout stages. Despite France’s impressive goal-scoring record in the World Cup and Euro 2024 qualifying, they have struggled to find the back of the net in the group stage, with their only goals coming from a Kylian Mbappé penalty and a Max Wober header (for Austria).
Deschamps remains positive, acknowledging that his team needs to be more clinical in front of goal. He hinted that he may make changes to the lineup, potentially bringing back Antoine Griezmann to the starting XI. The manager stressed the importance of the upcoming five-day break, as the team looks to reset and prepare for the knockout rounds.
