Criticism of the French national football team has been on the rise, especially in light of their performance against Ukraine. Eric Naulleau expressed his sentiments on LCI, emphasizing that the players need to focus on their performance on the field rather than talking. Tony Cascarino joined the critique, describing the French players as “oversold, overpaid, and arrogant.” He highlighted the negative perception of the team, especially after the debacle in South Africa.
Pascal Praud, a former TF1 journalist, added to the chorus of disapproval, stating that people can’t stand the French team anymore. He mentioned the dislike for players like Patrice Evra and expressed the sentiment that many are hoping for the team’s elimination to usher in a new generation. The criticism reflects the disappointment and frustration of fans with the team’s recent performances.
