France's superstar Kylian Mbappé also came away empty-handed in the 3:2 win against Chile, and the defense is no longer solid either. Didier Deschamps admits: "We didn't have the necessary freshness."

"Austria have made great progress, it's never easy against them, they already made us feel that in the Nations League," Didier Deschamps also registered the 6:1 exclamation mark against Turkey. But France's team boss has other worries at the moment: "More than disappointing", he commented on the merciless whistling of his own "fans" in Marseille against Kylian Mbappé. Club rivalry was stronger than national pride.

"Will score again soon"
Although the Paris Saint-Germain superstar once again remained pale in the 3:2 win against Chile, failing to score for the third time in a row. "With him, it always felt like months," said Deschamps. "But he'll score again soon." Instead, Kolo Muani forced his way onto the pitch. The luxury problems in France's offense ...

... but the renowned defense is weakening. Only the bar saved the victory against Chile. Les Bleus have conceded six goals in their last three games - more than in 21 (!) previous matches. Clauss (thigh) and Real star Camavinga (ankle) were also ruled out injured.

"The freshness wasn't ideal, we didn't have the necessary energy level. We didn't push ourselves to the limit. We'll have to do things differently in June," said Deschamps.
