Leboeuf Criticizes France's Defensive Play

Laurent Leboeuf, now a football analyst, dissected the French national team's recent outings and pointed to glaring defensive flaws. He noted that the back line often left gaps, allowing opponents to exploit space, especially in the recent third‑place playoff.

Leboeuf argued that the issues stem from both tactical discipline and individual concentration lapses. French officials are expected to address these concerns ahead of upcoming qualifiers.
