“A huge mistake”. Zidane devastated after disaster of France in Milan

A france's defeat in visiting Italy (1-3), in another League of Nations game, registered on Thursday night, is worth much criticism of Zinédine Zidane. The Gauls signed a bad show in San Siro, in a match that became the theme of the moment in France, with Daniel Riolo and Christophe Dugarry not to spare in criticism of Zidane. French journalist and former world champion analyzed the game on the RMC antenna Sport was perplexed by some of the selector's decisions. 

“There are things I didn’t understand. Zidane's choices are very questionable in certain positions. I speak of confusion because we will hear many times that we made fantastic 25 initial minutes. And we'll all agree, it was almost 25 minutes when the team seemed to want to leave the warning: ‘They will suffer much against us’. That's the feeling we had with the pressure, the reaction to the loss of the ball, the collective movements and the players changing positions... I got so much to see that I didn't even know who was who, who did what. It was good, but in the end, we got lost”, started by saying Daniel Riolo. 

“ In what began as a positive confusion, I wondered what minute Olise had left. After all, I was still in the field. What about Cherki? No, he was still there, but he didn't think he was. And Doué, where were you? Oh, it was the left-hand side, then the extreme, but I don't even know when you played fake nine during the game. From a movement that seemed coordinated and disguised by an excellent reaction to the loss of the ball and the winning duels, we came to a situation where, when this intense pressure began to dissipate, I stopped realizing whatever it was. The thread is lost to the meada, but I do not know what was due ", lamented. 

Daniel Riolo also left an appeal to Zidane, warning the dangers of wanting to imitate the game style implemented by Luis Enrique in PSG. 

“ After the second game, I was much criticized for the famous phrase in which I argued that Luis Enrique's PSG should serve as a model for Zidane. I don't know if, looking back now, I must say I was wrong, because, after all, Zidane wants to do the same thing as PSG. But if I was wrong, then Zidane is making a huge mistake. You can't do that with players who only come together once in a while and in select games. This confusion, with players changing positions, in PSG results in a detailed score, to the second, which took a long time to build, but which today gives rise to a majestic symphony. I find it very difficult to try to do the same. In the PSG, when there are exchanges of position, I can keep up. I got lost tonight. At one point, I even got my eyes changed,” the French journalist said. 

In turn, Christophe Dugarry considered that Zidane has a lot of work ahead of him, highlighting the Italians’ hunger, and asking for more attitude from French players. 

“ There was a game idea that was implemented and that even started to work quite well. But then it all fell apart. There's no certainty, no work, no communication... A lot of things are missing. This shows all the work that is still ahead of us. In addition to this kind of breakdown in the second part, individual errors were added. It is necessary to give a physical answer ", defended Dugarry. 

“You cannot always show technical quality. You have to be able to roll up your sleeves and give everything in the field. What will the Italians have shown! This team will learn. You'll learn to suffer. It was a hard blow, especially because of what happened in the second part”, he shot the former French international, who was part of the world’s champion team in 1998.
