A Managerial Masterclass in Stupidity

French manager Didier Deschamps nearly cost his country the World Cup today. His tactical setup against Senegal was an absolute, undeniable disaster. France won the match 3-1 strictly through raw individual brilliance. Deschamps deployed his fullbacks way too high up the pitch. Senegal completely exposed this massive structural weakness immediately. The African attackers destroyed the French flanks on terrifying counterattacks.

Zero Shots on Target

The French midfield completely failed to control the tempo of the game. They looked entirely lost against the aggressive Senegalese press. France shockingly finished the first half without a single shot on target. Deschamps sat on the bench looking completely out of ideas. His initial game plan was completely shredded by Senegalese manager Pape Thiaw.

• Deschamps finally shifted Michael Olise into a central attacking role later.
• He benched a highly ineffective Ousmane Dembele for young Bradley Barcola.
• The defense never fully recovered its structural shape despite the victory.

Saved by the Superstars

Deschamps owes Kylian Mbappe his entire job right now. Mbappe ignored the broken tactics and simply scored two brilliant goals. He broke the national scoring record in the 96th minute. Bradley Barcola also bailed out his manager with a debut goal. Senegal even managed to score in the 95th minute due to sloppy defending. France secured three points, but Deschamps needs to fix this broken system immediately.
