ball Ugly Deschamps’ path to the second star in the World Cup Yemenat
A few days separate the fans of the round witch, from the final of the Qatar 2022 World Cup, between France and Argentina, at Lusail Stadium.
To win a World Cup title, you need to harness your team’s greatest strength, and this is what Roosters coach Didier Deschamps used in Russia 2018 and the current 2022 edition, and he seeks to repeat it against Argentina to retain the World Cup title.
We’re talking about relying on Deschamps’ “ugly ball”, regardless of the star squad at his disposal in the French national team.
Deschamps may leave the initiative to the opposition as a volunteer at many times in the matches, and this may make us see teams like England and Morocco outperform the Roosters in the statistics of the match, but we find that in the end the result favors France.
Golden Generation
Deschamps did not succeed in winning the trust of the Roosters fans or fans of French football globally before the start of the 2018 World Cup.
Most remembered Deschamps losing the Euro 2016 title on French soil, in the final metres to Portugal, who lost Cristiano Ronaldo’s services in the final due to injury.
It was an additional burden for Deschamps before the World Cup kicked off in Russia, where everyone was talking about France having a golden generation in all its lines capable of ruling the world, but lacking only an experienced coach.
It went so far as to label France’s substitutes as capable of winning the World Cup title, meaning Deschamps has no excuses if he returns to Paris without the trophy.
Deschamps succeeded in his mission, but by exploiting the “ugly ball” that may not entertain the public but brings the desired results. We can say that it is also the reason why the Roosters qualified for the 2022 final, but this time without surprises for the public who realized that it is the shortest path to success.
Zidane’s ghost
Perhaps the lack of adventure and excessive reservation in Deschamps’ style of play, is also related to the fact that he worked under the pressure of having a competent replacement, which was like a knife that was put to his neck in the previous and current World Cup, especially since the name put forward to succeed him is not associated with any team, and he managed to dominate the strongest club world championship for three years in a row.
