'We took a good slap' - Deschamps blasts France after Turkey defeat

The Les Bleus boss has laid into his players after a reversal in Group H that leaves them three points behind the team that defeated them

France head coach Didier Deschamps has said there are no positives to take from his side's shock defeat to Turkey in Saturday's Euro 2020 qualifier.

“When there is a collective performance like this, there is nothing to retain positive,” the 50-year-old told TF1.

“We did not play our game against a team that played as they like, and we were not present.

“If we play with no intentions, even though we are world champions, this is what happens.

“We took a good slap tonight and we will analyse it. There is nothing else to say.

“Congratulations to Turkey and we should return to our basics.”
