The landscape of French football has experienced a new change! Just yesterday, the French Football Federation officially announced that Didier Deschamps had resigned from his position as head coach of the national team. This legendary coach, who once led France to the pinnacle of world football, ultimately could not withstand the rumors of conflict with Kylian Mbappé. More dramatically, it seems that Mbappé's behind-the-scenes strategy has succeeded, casting suspense over France's future and sparking heated discussions among fans: Is it the end of Deschamps' era or the beginning of Mbappé's new era? On January 12, 2025, the French Football Federation announced through an official statement that Deschamps had resigned from his position as head coach of the French national team. This decision was not sudden, as France had previously failed to reach the final trophy in consecutive European Championships and World Cups, with external doubts already widespread. The internal conflicts within the French team were also magnified by the media following multiple public "confrontations" between Mbappé and Deschamps. Since taking over as head coach of the French national team in 2012, Deschamps has led the team through countless highlights. Undoubtedly, the most memorable moment of his coaching career was the 2018 World Cup in Russia, where France, under his command, fought its way through and eventually lifted the trophy. However, as time passed, Deschamps' tactics came under increasing criticism for being "outdated," especially during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where France reached the final but lost disappointingly to Argentina in a penalty shootout. In the 2024 European Championship, France…

After Deschamps announced that he would leave the team after the 2026 World Cup, journalist Duroc from L'Équipe wrote, "This is a beautiful decision and a good opportunity for the French team!" Why are French media happy about Deschamps' departure after coaching the French team for 14 years? Became a Target After the European Championship After the French Football Federation announced the renewal of the contract with the French team in 2023, this decision triggered huge controversy. When asked if they had considered Zidane, French Football Federation President Le Graët said, "We have never considered letting Deschamps leave. Zidane will definitely not coach the French team, and I won't even answer his call." Le Graët's remarks aroused public outrage, and French Sports Minister Castella even said, "Such disrespectful remarks are too disgraceful, offending this football legend and all of us." At the same time, Le Graët's remarks also put more pressure on Deschamps. However, France's performance at the 2024 European Championship was quite mediocre, ending in the semi-finals, while the French team only scored 4 goals in 6 European Championship matches, including 2 own goals and 1 penalty kick, creating a new low in international tournament goal scoring in 12 years. With attacking players such as Mbappé, Griezmann, Mouani, and Dembélé, the French team averaged only 9.5 shots per game, far lower than other title contenders. After the European Cup elimination, L'Équipe pointed out, "Deschamps' conservative tactics are outdated, and the French team needs to change." In fact, at the post-match press conference, a reporter sharply asked, "Your contract still…

The unpredictable nature of life has once again been highlighted as we approach the new year, with some lives forever frozen in 2024. Russian news agencies such as RIA Novosti, TASS, and Sport24 have reported that former national team player Alexei Bugaev, who represented Russia in the 2004 European Championship, was killed in action during the conflict between Ukraine and Russia at the age of 43. Anton Smirnov, a football agent, first shared this news on his social media on the 29th, which was later confirmed by Bugaev's father, Ivan, to the media: "Unfortunately, the news about Alexei's death is true. It happened today." The German Transfer Market and other data websites have already updated the player's date of death to December 29, 2024. Smirnov revealed that due to the fierce frontline combat situation, it is currently impossible to repatriate Bugaev's remains. He is also the first confirmed Russian male football international to have died in Ukraine. Bugaev was born on August 25, 1981, standing at 1.80 meters tall, playing as a central defender. He started his career at Moscow Torpedo and also played for several other Russian clubs including Lokomotiv Moscow, Tomsk, and Khimki. At the national level, Bugaev played in seven international matches for the Russian senior team, including the 2004 European Championship. Wearing the number 21 jersey, he started and played the full two group stage matches after sitting on the bench in the first match against Spain (0-1 loss). In the second match, he faced off against Portuguese stars like Figo, Deco, Rui Costa, and a…
