It is clear that the Didier Deschamps they have in their hands a huge… reservoir of footballers in order to prepare the national team of France, however even the federal coach of the 2018 world champion seems to have his concerns!
In a press conference ahead of the Euro 2024 qualifier against Holland (for the group where Greece also participates), the 54-year-old coach referred to the lack of full backs, saying that “players are now being developed as full backs, unfortunately, there are not that many and when I talk to Thierry Henry, it is not easy to find. It’s an area where we need to improve.”
With Kude and Disappointment barring injuries, Deschamps called up right-backs Clos and Gusteau, while Pavard, the Hernandez brothers, Lukeba, Konate and Todibo are also called up.
However, if the French coach has a problem preparing the team, what do others have to say…
Didier Deschamps has called on France to develop more full-backs:
