France had a disappointing draw last night against Georgia in a World Cup qualifying match, ending 0-0. Samir Nasri, the Manchester City midfielder, who returned to the team after expressing apologies, expressed his disappointment: “It’s a real disappointment. The objective is to take three points, not to draw. We didn’t set any rhythm for 60 minutes. We only started to have good intentions during the last half hour. We can have regrets about these last thirty minutes.”
Didier Deschamps, the coach of the French national team, also acknowledged a sense of disappointment: “From the moment we don’t find the opening, we can’t win the match. We had control in terms of possession without creating any real chances in an hour.” Deschamps made changes to bring more play and offensive presence, but he emphasized the need for more luck, skill, and success.
Despite the draw, Deschamps remains focused on the team’s goal, stating, “There is no miracle cure, but I don’t want to sink today. We are still in our goal.” France will face Belarus in their next match on Tuesday evening. Deschamps highlighted the team’s difficulty in scoring and suggested that a comprehensive evaluation would be made after the match against Finland on October 15.
