Sports journalists participated in the latest episode of the “Arena e Yjeve” podcast, where they provided detailed analysis of the 2026 World Cup semi-finals and the subsequent grand final match between Spain and Argentina. The broadcast, supported by sponsors Exfis and Heineken, featured expert commentary on the tournament’s major fixtures. During the discussion, journalist Shkumbin Pireva focused his critique on France’s performance, specifically addressing their elimination from the world cup tournament.
Pireva suggested that the tactical decisions made by coach Didier Deschamps were responsible for the team’s exit. He argued that Deschamps had a consistent pattern of utilizing a three-man midfield structure. Pireva noted that this tactical approach was not new, referencing the 2018 World Cup where Deschamps had previously won the title.
According to his analysis, even during that successful campaign, Deschamps implemented a system involving three central midfielders, whether those players were Rabiot or Matuidi in a lateral role. Pireva expressed his expectation that Deschamps would replicate this specific midfield configuration in the current tournament, suggesting this tactical rigidity was a key factor in France’s failure to advance. The segment provided deep insight into the strategic decisions and high-stakes moments defining the major international football competition.
