France national team head coach Didier Deschamps has reassured critics ahead of tomorrow's Nations League match against Italy.
Quote: "We are second in the FIFA world rankings, and we have played in the Nations League with many young players who lack experience. Naturally, this should take priority over the result, but we still reached the semifinals of the European Championship.
Italy and France both made it to the quarterfinals, and Italy is currently leading the group, but we know what we need to do tomorrow. I am always happy to return to Italy, as I had wonderful years there, both as a player and as a coach, but right now, I am happy where I am," said Deschamps, as quoted by Football-Italia.
Reminder: This week, France played a lackluster match and couldn't defeat Israel (0-0).
Although both teams have already secured a spot in the Nations League quarterfinals, the winner of the group will become the top-seeded team in the draw for the next phase of the tournament.
Earlier, it was reported that France's players are tired of working with Deschamps, and there are increasing calls for Zinedine Zidane to be appointed head coach of the national team.
