On June 10th (Beijing Time), France surprisingly drew 0-0 with Canada in a friendly match. After the game, French national team coach Didier Deschamps spoke to the media, saying, “We faced a very strong opponent, and we did our best.”
In this match, French forward Kylian Mbappé, who had a minor back injury, didn’t start but came on as a substitute in the 74th minute. Despite this, France still couldn’t secure a win in their final pre-Euro warm-up match, drawing 0-0 with Canada. Canada had previously lost 0-4 to the Netherlands.
After the match, Coach Deschamps told the press, “We faced a very strong opponent. In the first half, we had some good opportunities, especially in the first 30 minutes, as the end of the first half was quite challenging.”
“Secondly, we tried our best, even with so many changes. The result wasn’t what we wanted, but it’s essential to manage minutes wisely in these two friendlies. Other nations are also preparing for the Euros, and their friendlies have been tough too. We’ll use this game to prepare for our trip to Germany,” Deschamps explained the draw in detail.
