Problems in the Belgian team? Defender Vertonghen reacted bitterly to De Bruyne and his comments after defeat to Morocco

Replacing Michel Platini or Zinedine Zidane is an almost impossible undertaking. However, pundit Noël Tosi has spoken out about Antoine Griezmann’s role in the French national team and thanks Didier Deschamps and company for the discovery. According to the esteemed French manager, the Atlético Madrid striker is a full-fledged successor to the aforementioned two giants.

We have been looking for a successor to Platini or Zidane for years. And finally we have it, it’s Griezmann. His new role is beyond him: creating dream passes and influencing the play of the French team. And what do you call a player with these qualities? The creator of the game.

Deschamps has transformed a striker into a midfielder who influences the collective of our Blues. Also, he defends himself like a lion, he’s generous, dynamic, he wins fights and he’s just everywhere. He is a complex player. We knew it before, but this time he’s special!

Deschamps is a true collective creator

Let’s come to a saying that is close to my heart: in football there is a place that a player wants to fill, and then there is a place that the coach gives him.

Deschamps is a true collective creator, he always finds the detail that makes the French team go from a good team to a very powerful team. He’s used to it.

We remember the year 2016, the final of the European Championship, the outstanding match played by Moussa Sissoko in the position of right midfielder.

In 2018 he had a great idea to balance the team defensively with Blaise Matuidi in the left lane. This is undoubtedly the greatest job of a coach: he must be able to find the best complementarities, techniques, tactics or psychological.

At a time when some of us were even wondering if we would break the first round curse, Deschamps, Guy Stéphan and all the rest of the staff were still looking for and creating the conditions for success.

So thank you on behalf of all the trainers in the world! Thank you for ensuring that the coaching profession remains a profession of creators, of risk takers. Thank you for not being influenced by comments that don’t rhyme with anything and are just a pretext for controversy. Thank you for being above all the high-level techniques to emphasize the collective performance.

There are no impregnable fortresses, only heavily assaulted fortresses, but with technicians like you, the collective becomes a real joy. And Griezmann simply becomes a worthy successor to Platini and Zidane.

*The first French coach Noël Tosi to coach in the United States began his career on the bench at the age of 27. He went through Grenoble, Nîmes, Gueugnon, Arles-Avignon, Angers or the French Cherbourg, he was also coach of Congo and Mauritania.
