Watch the video: “I’m sorry for Hansi Flick” – French national coach about the dismissal of the national coach.
STORY: NOTE: You will receive this article without narration. Didier Deschamps, France national coach: “I feel sorry for Hansi Flick, because he is someone I have always valued and continue to do so. Both he and I and all of our colleagues – we know exactly how things are going with us, if the results are not right. Of course, the expectations of the German team are very high, given what they have achieved in their history. The last three competitions have led to disappointments. The defeats in the past games have not improved the situation. But for me that doesn’t question the intrinsic value of this team, especially not its individual potential.” Antoine Griezmann, France international: “The games between France and Germany are always hard-fought. It can get heated on the pitch. But these are the games you dreamed of as a child, or when I was fifteen or sixteen. These are the games I wanted to watch instead of going to bed. These kinds of games make me want to play.”
