Deschamps explained why the French team lost to Italy in the Nations League match

Head coach of the French national team Didier Deschamps commented on the defeat to Italy (1:3) in the first round match of Group 2 of League A of the UEFA Nations League.

«We started very well, but we were not able to maintain a quality game throughout the entire 90 minutes of the match. The opponent was good in the fight and counterattacks, because we made mistakes», — TF1 quotes Deschamps as saying.

The French national team will play its next match on September 9 against Belgium. Italy will face Israel on the same day.
