Coach Deschamps says France’s performance was satisfactory despite not winning yesterday’s UEFA Nations League match against Austria. Both teams drew 1-1 in Vienna. With this, France has not been able to win all three matches they have played in the Nations League so far.
Andreas Wiemann scored in the first half to give Austria the lead in the 83rd minute, but substitute Killian Mbabane equalized for France. With fans worried about not being able to win the matches, which are also considered to be preparations for the World Cup in December, Deschamps is in full confidence.
“I am very pleased with what we have been able to do. The players should have been rewarded with the result of the match. We did the best we could. Austria played with sincerity and intensity. We had complete control in the second half. We lost efficiency. Deschamps said after the match.
Although France did not win the match, superstar Mbabane said he hoped to return to action next week against Croatia. Mbabane said the team was aiming for victory but could not reach it, adding that although he had not fully regained fitness, he would be with the coach when needed.
France, who won the Nations League last season, are currently bottom of the group after failing to win their third match in a row. They can only hope to advance to the next stage if they win all the remaining matches.
