Didier Deschamps was managing his final match in charge of France and left angry. Spain eliminated them again, this time in the World Cup semifinals, and the coach held nothing back in front of the microphones.
“The refereeing? If I say anything, I’ll seem like a sore loser because we lost. But I ask you whether the referee was up to the task of officiating a semifinal”, he fired back, leaving the doubt hanging without making a direct accusation. He was self-critical afterward: “We were technically inferior, with mistakes that are costly at this level”.
France will now play for third place, but Deschamps’ remark has already been etched as his last major gesture of anger in charge of Les Bleus 🔥⚽
