Never seen it in my life: Deschamps slams World Cup hosts USA
Never seen it in my life: Deschamps slams World Cup hosts USA To get an initial impression of the situation, the French national team is currently playing its friendly matches in the USA. After the 2-1 win against Brazil, today they still face a test against Colombia (9 p. m.
). While Didier Deschamps is likely to be satisfied with his players, he mainly criticized the conditions in the World Cup host country at Saturday’s press conference. "We have problems with travel routes," he said.
"Not because of the distance, but because of the time. " Traffic is so heavy that they may not be able to stick to the schedule and might have to move training sessions. But traffic is not the only issue for the French national team coach.
"We have to train at a different venue, but go to the stadium for media appointments. There are only 45 minutes in between," he explained. Training at the stadium is not possible.
That leads to organizational problems. But the 57-year-old did not only find points of criticism on site, but already during the journey there as well. "There are checks like I have never seen in my life," Deschamps said clearly.
