Mbappe admits that France “p * ssed off” after the defeat of Spain while Deschamps affirms that the Blues
Kylian Mbappe says that the cloakroom of France is “upset” after being eliminated from the semi-finals of the League of Nations by Spain.
The Blues lost a 5-4 thriller in which Mbappe obtained a diagram, but it was not enough to overcome the European champions.
In fact, France was 5-1 with 23 minutes to play, before certain inspired substitutions threaten to shoot the game in favor of France.
But they finally failed, leaving Mbappe, on his return to the national configuration, annoyed.
Speaking after the match, he said: “I do not agree with the referee on the real playing time, but if I talk, people will think that I am angry. When five minutes ago, you have to play for five minutes.”
“In the fire of the moment, I would say that we have played well. We had a few sections that we have not had for some time. We had a difference of 10 minutes in the first half and we conceded two goals, and the same thing in the second period. We were not consistent in the 90 minutes, but we became better.”
Despite a completely crazy end of the match, our Blues bowed on a goal tonight against Spain …

“Experimental defense? This is not an excuse, we are high -level players. But it’s not all negative. We are upset, that’s for sure. We are frustrated.”
Deschamps echoed the words of his captain, who align four fronts of the Real Madrid star, the winners of the Champions League Ousmane Dembele and the Desire Doue, as well as Michael Olise du Bayern Munich.
He estimated that his team was unhappy to concede five goals, but admitted that they were far from perfect at night.
Deschamps added: “It is a mixture of feelings. At the end of the first half, it is difficult to be down 2-0 because we had a lot of chance.
“We were down 5-1, but we did not give up. We cannot throw everything; We have done a lot of good things. We had better control than this Spanish team. If we concede five goals, it is because we can do better defensively, but it is frustrating. As soon as they have a chance, they are often very effective.
“The quality of the opposition leads to errors, but when there are goals, we can always do better.
“I’m not going to blame the defenders because they found themselves head-to-head.
“I try to be clear, it is not necessary to throw everything away. When you concede five goals, it is because you have not done everything correctly. It’s the highest level.”
Spain will now face Portugal in the final on Sunday, with France to look at what could have been.
