Team of France – EdF: Deschamps did not have fun, Lampard is furious for Kante!

The midfielder was expected to hold in Iceland (0-1), but another blow to the warm-up prevented him from playing the first match. Then the second against Turkey (1-1) three days later. However, the staff of the Blues did not consider it relevant to send him back to Chelsea. Enough to provoke the anger of Frank Lampard, who did not appreciate the little joke of the coach Didier Deschamps on the playing time of his striker Olivier Giroud.

" Before the truce, I know that Didier Deschamps joked about Olivier Giroud. It was light of course, we all have our problems, first responded the manager of the Blues. But the situation of Kante is not funny, we communicated before the previous truce because he was injured. We must think of the good of the player. He had not gone, we had agreed. That's the way things should be. "

Lampard complains about French staff

But at the last rally, the exchanges were not as effective. " After the first game he did not play, he passed physical tests the day before the second matchsaid the Englishman. It was clear that he could not play. Then he stayed on the bench, that's not communication. (…) Our doctors communicated but sometimes the information did not come back when I was waiting for them. "

" I understand that when players are with their respective selections, they belong to them, but it was clear that he could not play. We would have preferred him to come back for treatment. (…) From now on, I will try to communicate better with each coach "Warned Lampard, who will no longer hesitate to harass Deschamps and the French Football Federation, like Bayern Munich with Lucas Hernandez.
