France were knocked out of the European Cup by Switzerland on penalties in the quarter-finals, giving the World Cup champions a blow that was not only hard for French fans to swallow but also exposed more problems for the French team itself. First, Mbappe lost a penalty after the lonely figure, difficult to cover up his embarrassing record in this European Cup 0 goals, can not find the club hot state. In contrast, Benzema, who has returned to the national team and scored three goals to become the team’s top scorer, is still accused by the media of disrupting France’s attacking system and becoming the team’s scapegoat.
Then there is coach Deshong, who has led France to the top, and who still believes he can lead them back to greatness after they are out of the game, but the FA is weighing the pros and cons and his position is precarious. Then there is Kant’s frustration, his impeccable performance in the Champions League and at the club this season, and the prospect of a French exit that could alienate him from the world player of the year.
More recently, a racism scandal broke in Paillet when a video of him and Griessmann mocking the Japanese was released in 2019, putting them in the crosshairs again, despite an apology from Barcelona’s It Takes Two, the effect is still very small, I am afraid it will intensify the cleansing of Barca on the two.
Every time the French team was knocked out, all kinds of news would break out. First there was the internal dispute over the national team of Riberi and Anelka, and then this European Cup was knocked out. It is believed that whoever is in charge of this French team would have a great headache. The team has a large number of top players, once the performance is not good, the fans and the media take turns to blame, let the French team’s recent situation is even worse.
