On Canal+ and in the Late Football Club, the former coach of the Girondins de Bordeaux, Bruno Irles, as a consultant,Bruno Irlesspoke about the defense of the French team, which showed excitement against the Ivory Coast. Can we be World Champion with this defense?
“They can be World Champions without having a good defense. When we talk about a good defense, we think of the goalkeeper and the four defenders. Possibly the two defensive midfielders. But for me, that’s not it. What’s best in defense at the moment, Arsenal, well it’s not just the four defenders, it’s a whole block, movements. We can currently doubt what the back four of the French team offers. But if the block starts to defend well, if we have attackers who defend with their defenders, they can go to the end of this World Cup. There, it was against Côte d’Ivoire, it’s not this defense that will play. Arsenal is the best defense currently, they are not European Champions… What I mean is that that is not enough. Today, we have doubts on the left, Ibrahima Konaté should not play, but he is not likely to be a starter. He went down a notch in the ladder of central defenders. I’m simply saying that if you have Ousmane Dembélé, Michael Olise, Bradley Barcola, Désiré Doué, who work like dogs, they will help Lucas Digne and Théo Hernandez. It will be less visible then, and therefore we can be World Champions.”
