A FAILURE⁉ Kylian Mbappe's STRONG French Euro take + Deschamps to remain for World Cup | ESPN FC

Greg Balter out did damp stays in he remains coach of France despite that defeat obviously against Spain yesterday Julian Rock joins us to give us all the latest on that Jules was there ever any doubt not really Dan not really we knew he had a contract until 2026 after the uh the World Cup in in the US Mexico and Canada and the objective was the semi-final before the start of the tournament set by the head of the French fa so it was very likely that he was going to stay and to be fair the interview that Philip Dio the head of the French fa gave was like very very clear from the beginning he's staying he wants to stay we want him to stay and regardless of the style of football the disappointment in the semi-final the mbappe situation all of that nothing else really came into consideration they they were always going to continue together are you happy with that decision Frank I'm happy for DJ I don't know if I'm happy for the the French football uh he has he had results so nothing nothing you can say about that that is a main important thing for him uh for the football we always complain about the way we were playing and that we could do better but um I think it's uh it's just normal that he stays he still have two years contract the president likes him very political answer for me Frank yeah but what do you else what else do you want to say you know I don't want to declare a riot against I mean that's just football is fine by me the noizu will have to wait a little bit more that's what can goal is that for France yeah if you get to the semifinal you're good yeah correct how about you get to the semi-final on your football's crap mhm that was by by the standard the players they've got how about you get to the semi final you play terribly you're boring you how many goals you score from M play or how many goals they score two France talking about and that and that that's enough with these players no no for for me it's not enough it's what I said say you're not happy are you you don't want to jum to stay listen he said to us with this whole competition I'm winning I'm winning matches so don't talk to me now he's lost so now we can talk now we can talk about substitutions yesterday terrible we can talk about his strategy for this tournament which was all on kilan everything was for kilan the team was build around kilan everything was made for kilan but kilan never showed up and yeah maybe it was not fair the mask the nose everything we want no problem but you your plan a and plan B and plan C and Plan D and plan all the letters in the world was killan mbappe and at some point when we all could see that K mbappe was not a good plan because he was not fully fit it was misfiring he was not in this then I would have I expected from deson to change something and he didn't and until the end he persevered with this idea that mbappe has to stay on the pitch it has to be all around mbappe this and that and that that was a mistake and that was wrong so now that he lost now we can look at it more deeply I guess and go back to to say that he was not good enough should he should he have gone well I think I would have liked to see zinedin to be fair personally I think 12 years is a very long time as an intern International head coach maybe too long and we've seen maybe in this tournament that his ideas now are not working like they used to before so personally I would have lik zidan to have a chance I think I think what what it is yeah we want to see zidan because we want to see a different football more offensive it's why we want to see a change because of that but you cannot say okay the was crap with all the results that he had you have to you know give him a little bit of credit but it's true and I'm with Jules yesterday you have the question mark about rabio playing about mbappe playing about even demele playing and it's like it's like South Gate you are your position or your positioning of of being a coach is to make a decision and to even if you have players who are stars or considers are stars you have to make sure that your team is the more um uh efficient that you you can get and for sure kilan ande all tournament long wasn't the the player that we were expecting to see so maybe it would have been good to change at some point and he didn't and he can be criticized for that but at the end of the day he has the last word and now we can discuss about it but the president of the French Federation say he's going to carry so but Frankie has to play better than that in the next two years going forward doesn't he that's that's the that's always been the problem exactly that's the Crux of the matter he's been there 12 years why not change him on a semi-final why not change him and say you know what amazing we got to the semi-final but the way we played it's been 12 years I think we need to go to a different direction we've got a really group of young players now you know the the likes of goo kante people like that are coming to the end of their tenure Griezmann coming to the end of their tenure we've got bar out we've got Z emry we've got CH manyi we've got kaminga why not say new start new boss but our aim for the for the 20126 World Cup is to get back to playing with a bit of flare now because that certainly wasn't good enough and as Craig said just to say oh we got to the semi-final that's okay it's not it's we're talking about France it's not not in a tournament like this with the opposition that we've seen in this tournament uh this is the front page of was it unmasked is this Frank how you would translate that yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah maybe the truth came out this way they mean uh this is what Kil mbappe had to say my competition it was difficult it was a failure we had the ambition to be European Champions I had the ambition to be European Champions We aren't that so it's a failure is he getting the more of the blame than desant Jules that's a good question D no no I don't think so I think the broken no maybe explains this a little bit more because right now it seems that the analysis that we are doing back home is much more on just to finish on D quickly because something that I saw yesterday that I thought was absolutely daming for somebody of his standard because again Frank is right the results for the last this is the fourth semifinal in five tournament this is UN unprecedented we've never seen any International head coach having those kind of results right but yesterday in that first half when we were getting I mean it was a lesson that the Spanish m field G Midfield right rabi K were all over the place and you could hear Des saying hey you're 3v3 in that Midfield so this out but no it was not 3v3 you could see niik Williams coming inside you could see lamin yamal coming inside and they were outnumbering the French midfielder and DJ could not see it we could all see it you could see on television I could see in the stadium and DJ couldn't see and all he was saying was like it's 3v3 in Midfield when it was never 3v3 and before remember the World Cup Final in Qatar after 35 minutes it changed because we were all over the place and that had an impact in that second half yesterday he waited an hour an hour to make a substitution where clearly we were not good enough especially in that Midfield and that's where I'm like that's where I'm doubting now has he lost a bit of his magic touch that he had before and for kilan kilan will in his mind already and somebody told me yesterday there would always be an asteris and I wrote down on the piece for the website there would always be what if what if I didn't break my nose in that first game against Dono against Austria I don't know what would have happened but to be fair it was never in that tournament and that should have been he's tournament well good to see Jes is over it yeah you posting all the videos obviously when when France won the quarter finals where was the video of you crying yesterday it's uploading it's uploading oh yeah yeah it's a long one the thing the bottom the bottom line of that story and this hero for France is kilan mbappe said it he made a statement where the president of the French Federation thinks it was a good deal and semi-finalist was good yeah kilan it's a failure yeah we should have been European Champion so it's a failure so if your captain says that it's up to you maybe to to take a decision but you have to listen to that it's all right if you go out of the tournament playing like Germany did when you get beaten by the best team and the best team at this moment in time of Spain so if Spain beat you playing well scoring nice goals you accept it but France went out with a bit of Wim a bit of a whimper didn't he for the talent that they have on their disposal I think that was it you took a look at the score and the quality within the score don't Germany a year ago listen a year probably less than a year ago oh yeah four months ago uh when nagles and off the backy hany flick even when you're looking at it from a Scottish perspective you had them in the opening game you think my God we can Scotland could upset Germany here they're that bad yes so they actually turned their fortunes around and made a decent fist of it where France were you know all right some of the bookies had England favorites I think most of us thought France were favorites yeah and yet they were just so disappointing to watch he just his changes his his team selection all those things and and that's I think where and when you look at the other nations at the moment most of them are not you know look at Italy out Germany we've just talked about England have stumbled around even Spain have been the best team to watch this isn't by this is this is by a long shot not the strongest Squad so all those things when you look at it this is why France should have been much stronger than what they turned up as in this tournament and that's the disappointment maybe mbappe breaking his nose and in The Mask has saved the shump maybe he has maybe that huge question mark over the best player in the world it's m hey him having the best player in the world disappointing tournament that really deserves finish show the sun does the only thing is we saw the difference we played we played a friendly game against Germany four months ago I think something like that ju could say it say to us played we played at home in March yeah they hammered us at home and he showed how Germany came back to the to the job with cross coming back to that team and how bad we were it should have been an alert of what Euro will be for France and encouraging you know Germany in that matter but we were nowhere near it and like we did during this Euro [Music]
