The weaker team using set pieces to sneak a goal is quite common. As long as they keep their composure and strive for the first goal, they still have a chance for a big victory.
On the sidelines, Deschamps looked distressed, grimaced and returned to the coaching bench to drink water, feeling genuinely anxious.
Losing to a team like Bulgaria is certainly possible… they are not like Malta or Gibraltar, teams that are certain to win when encountered.
Bulgaria can defeat a top 20 ranked team in the world 1-2 times out of 10. However, he does not want France to catch bad luck this time, especially at home, after becoming European Cup champions.
"Hey! Hey…!"
Deschamps turned around and pointed at his temple, signaling the players to stay focused and not relax too much.
After finishing all this, he returned to the coaching bench, afraid of inadvertently spreading more negative emotions to the team.
"Beep!"
After the match restarted, France's attack became more fierce.
"Boom!"
