The players of the French team expected around the corner. Three days after being corrected by Germany 2-0 in Lyon, the Blues face Chile in a friendly match this Tuesday. Kick-off 9 p.m. at the Vélodrome stadium in Marseille. The world vice-champions have an interest in winning against a modest Chilean team to avoid any doubts.
Proof that the France team is going through a delicate period, it was Kylian Mbappé who presented himself again on Monday at a press conference in Marseille. The captain of the Blues had messages to convey. The striker with 76 caps and 46 goals recognizes that he and his teammates suffered greatly against the Mannschaft. “I think it’s not enough, we were overwhelmed, it was more than leadership… the leadership was failing,” declared the native of Bondy.
Quickly react against Chile
If Kylian Mbappé puts this setback against Germany into perspective by insisting on the fact that it was a meeting without stakes, the captain nevertheless warns his partners. “If we play like that, we are going to face big disappointments. We don’t want that to happen to us and we want to react against Chile so as not to create a certain doubt which does not currently exist”, warns the player of the PSG. This defeat against Germany is a warning before the Euro for the tenants of Clairefontaine.
In the event of a setback against Chile, the Blues would record a second consecutive setback. However, the French of Didier Deschamps have never lost two matches in a row since 2015. The president of the French football federation, Philippe Diallo, interviewed on Europe 1 by Jacques Vendroux is certain that the Blues will react against Chile. “It can happen even to the best to lose, no one likes to lose and I think that the Blues will take their revenge against Chile,” he assured.
