National team France faces Morocco in the semifinals World Cup 2022, Didier Deschamps is haunted by the reigning champion’s curse. Les Bleus – nickname French National – beat England 2-1 in the quarter-finals.
France took the lead in the 17th minute at Al Bayt Stadium, Sunday (12/11/2022) early morning WIB. England had equalised, Olivier Giroud’s 78th-minute header restored France’s lead.
Meanwhile, Kane scored a goal for England in the 54th minute with a white point. This result also allowed the French national team to reach the semifinals again, for two consecutive editions of the World Cup.
Not only that, France also has the opportunity to repeat the goal of becoming world champion. As reigning champions, they can make history if they win back-to-back World Cups.
However, Deschamps doesn’t want to be too hasty. He doesn’t want to think too much about the possibility of presenting the 2022 World Cup, before defeating the Moroccan national team.
“We’re already halfway there, but we won’t think about it until the end. We’re getting close, but the next stage will be very important for us to keep believing,” Deschamps said as quoted by Get Football French News.
Deschamps is worried about the reigning champion’s curse that occurred in the last editions of the World Cup. Previously, many holders failed to qualify from the group stage, such as Italy (2010), Spain (2014) and Germany (2018).
