The star striker of Real Madrid and the French football team, despite his incredible success at the club level, has faced a goal drought with Les Bleus. The coach of the French national team, Didier Deschamps, has acknowledged the striker’s lack of efficiency, breaking the protective shield around him.
Deschamps pointed out that the issue lies in a recent lack of confidence, which affects spontaneity and, to some extent, success and luck. Despite the goal drought, the coach refrains from framing the situation as a doubt or illness but rather attributes it to a natural ebb in a player’s form.
Deschamps also highlighted that France has experienced success without the star striker, as evidenced by their victories, notably against Belarus. The acknowledgment of the striker’s difficulties is a departure from the earlier protective stance, signaling a recognition of the challenges he currently faces in terms of goal-scoring.
