France football coach Didier Deschamps admitted his team was outplayed in their 2-0 defeat by Croatia in the Nations League quarter-finals. Both Croatian goals came in the first half, with France showing vulnerability particularly in defense, having let in numerous headed goals recently. Deschamps noted improvements in the second half but pointed out the team's inefficiencies. Looking ahead to the return leg at Stade de France, he expressed confidence in turning the tie around, emphasizing the need to correct technical errors and enhance their attacking strategy.
We made a good start, but there were losses of balls, technical errors. We gave opportunities to the opponent.
We lost the first set, we're going to make sure we win the second at home. Our first half was below what we were capable of doing.
