The recent match between France and Italy in Euro 2024 saw a surprising turn of events. Bradley Barcola scored an early goal for France, but Italy quickly took control of the game. Federico Dimarco’s impressive equalizer was followed by goals from Davide Frattesi and Giacomo Raspadori, allowing the Azzurri to claim a 3-1 victory. This unexpected outcome raised questions about the leadership of France’s manager, Didier Deschamps.

Deschamps expressed disappointment over the team’s performance, criticizing their lack of effort and fitness in the match. The upcoming game against Belgium in Lyon on Monday presents an opportunity for France to show a strong reaction to their recent defeat. Adding to the tension within the team, player Antoine Griezmann questioned Deschamps’ tactics and expressed frustration over not being able to make a significant impact on the game. Despite his personal disappointment, Griezmann emphasized the importance of respecting tactical decisions for the benefit of the team.

The overall atmosphere within the France dressing room appears unsettled, with the team facing scrutiny and pressure to bounce back from their defeat. It remains to be seen how they will respond in their upcoming match against Belgium.
