The coach of the French national team Didier Deschamps did not criticize his players after the defeat to Ukraine and stated that they can still earn a ticket to Brazil.
Yesterday, the first additional qualification match for the 2014 World Cup took place, where the Ukrainians defeated the French with a score of 2-0.
"The battle was tough, but we failed to capitalize on great opportunities to score. The first goal gave confidence to our opponents, and we made some mistakes and the result is what it is," said the coach.
"Of course, this result is bad for us. But we still have another 90 minutes, during which we must take advantage of all the opportunities," Deschamps concluded.
Another crucial qualification match for the World Cup will take place next Tuesday. The match in Paris will start at 22:00.
