Didier Deschamps, coach of France, commented on the sensational elimination of the blues to the round of 16 of Euro 2020:
Where did this defeat come from?
“In the 80th minute. Because we made a mistake in the first half, correcting by doing everything we could, up to 3-1 for us. Then a feverish one put Switzerland back in the running, who scored two goals. It hurts but it’s football, we have to accept it. We have had incredible moments with a united group. “
The three-man defense didn’t work
“We have already experienced it 2-3 times in qualifying and friendly matches. Although we missed the first half, Switzerland must be acknowledged for having played a great game, but we had recovered it, we were on the right path.”
About the future
“I’m calm. Football is like this: when you win it’s the players’ fault, when you lose it’s the manager’s fault. I take responsibility for this defeat, but it must be accepted. It hurts, but there will be happier tomorrows”.
