On June 22, in the second round of the European Cup group stage, France drew 0-0 with the Netherlands. During an interview, Deschamps expressed disappointment with his team’s attacking efficiency and highlighted the additional 30+ hours of rest that the Dutch had.
“Efficiency in front of goal was lacking, and I’m disappointed. You need to score to win, so we’ll review this aspect and aim for improvement in the next match, hoping to progress to the next round,” he said.
“In general, I’m satisfied with the players’ performance. After all, we were without a full 30+ hours of rest compared to the Netherlands… we gave it our all,” he added.
It’s worth noting that France dominated possession with a 63% share, attempting 15 shots but only hitting the target three times during the game.
