Didier Deschamps, France coach, took responsibility for eliminating the Euro-2020.
“You can imagine the sadness we can feel. We were at the limit of our strength, we had done what was necessary and we were winning 3-1, but we were overcome a bit by emotion. We probably didn’t deserve it anymore, but I take my responsibility. When you win, the credit goes to the players, when you lose it’s the coach’s fault. I’m sad like everyone else, but you have to accept it», he said.
Leaving his future open, Deschamps also spoke of Mbappé, who missed the last penalty: “He is deeply sad like all players, but no one can complain when he took responsibility for the fifth penalty.”
