Admittedly I don't have enough perspective regarding the French League to have a definite judgement on Deschamps, but seeing the bitterness that an otherwise balanced person like our ex Simone has towards him is quite a negative omen to me ("please don't ask me to elaborate on my opinion regarding Deschamps, lest I will have to sound rude", he said to the Domenica Sportiva).
Also, I think that the fact that the players may be more motivated if the club is in a precarious financial situation is hardly attributable to Deschamps (or Mancio's) coaching abilities. Let's face it : most football players are mercenaries whose first preoccupation is to cash their sextuple digit salary at the end of the year. Take that certainty away from them, and chances are you'll see them run twice as fast on the pitch. The best proof of this is that once the Lazio players knew that their wages were no longer in jeopardy, their performances became much less brilliant. The same happened with Roma earlier this season : at some point it seemed that Sensi could not gather enough money to register for next year's tournament. In the meantime the team was playing the best football in Italy and maybe Europe.
In fact it would be interesting to make the test, just to see. Umberto Agnelli should have summoned his players at the start of the season and told them : "our finances are a shambles. Unless we win the CL this year I will have to cut your salaries and sell some of you". Chances are Juve would have won the double this season, lol.
Please don't bash the French Armed Forces, Erik : anyone who would have found the Wehrmacht at their doorstep like they did would have capitulated just as quickly:groan:.
