The defeat to Spain has intensified calls for a new direction for Les Bleus. Daniel Riolo, a French journalist, did not mince words on RMC Sport's After Foot show, urging Deschamps to move on after 12 years at the helm.

"He’s hanging on, he’s staying. Maybe right now, asking him if he’s leaving could upset him, but the question will come up tomorrow, or whenever he wants," he said. "But the guy has been there for 12 years and he really doesn’t want to hear the question... stop. That’s enough. Go away. Go play padel in peace in Monaco, in the sun. Move on."
:whoo:

Riolo also suggested that the persistent calls for Zidane to take over as the national team coach make Deschamps uncomfortable.

“He really doesn’t want Zidane to take the French team because he knows that everyone wants that," he said.
:picard:
"He is against that idea. It hurts him so much that Zidane is expected to be a saviour, while he who won a World Cup and who has just played a semi-final at the Euro, we want him to leave. Psychologically, this man is affected. Affected by the fact that since the beginning of his career, he hasn't been the beautiful guy in the story. He is the ugly guy in the story. And he takes it very badly. It's been a scar since he was 20 when Michel Platini said of him that he was a water carrier when he started in the French team.
:damn:

"He is having a hard time with the fact that he does not have the recognition that matches his record. It is a scar. He wants to be loved and he sees that people do not love him completely. He will always be in the shadow of Zidane and Platini, and he is having a hard time with that.

Lot of talk about England's favourable side of the draw and for good reason, though I will never mention it again if we win on Sunday.:hubie:

Less talk about Spain's though. :jbhmm:

If Spain win, they'll have done it by beating Italy, Germany, France and England on their way to the trophy.

On paper that's got to be one of the most dominant tournament runs ever.
