There were two footballers from the France team who missed their shots from the penalty spot in the shocking definition of the final of the World Cup Qatar 2022 which ended with the Argentine team champion of the world. The first of them, to whom Emiliano “Dibu” Martínez deflected the shotwas Kingsley Coman. The second, who threw the ball outside, was Aurelian Tchouameni. Now, shortly following that historic day, both French players broke the silence following his unfortunate interventions.

The two members of the runner-up team of the world Cup They communicated their feelings following their failed shots on their respective Instagram accounts. Tchouameni, midfielder who currently plays for the Real Madrid and who executed the third penalty for his team outside, wrote to his followers: “It will take time to digest the bitterness and frustration. Until the end everything was tried, everything was rehearsed. I assume my responsibilities, that did not work and I am the first to be sorry.”

Later, in the same post that is illustrated with the photograph of the player who passes a few meters from the World Cup, Tchouameni shot an optimistic phrase: “But I am convinced that the future of the French team is bright, especially if we can count on you by our side.”

Coman, for his part, who was responsible for firing the second shot from the penalty spot for those led by Didier Deschamps, was less self-critical than his colleague and preferred to refer to the good that the tournament left for his country. The Bayern Munich footballer wrote, in this sense: Thank you all for your kind messages. It has been an incredible journey and we can be proud of what we have achieved.”

Next, the French forward wrote a minimal reference to the loss of the championship, although not specifically to his penalty, saying: “Disappointed and sad, but not defeated.” And he finished off his post, also like Tchouameni, with a message of revenge and hope: “But one thing is for sure: we will be back.”

In the photo that illustrates the post, Coman he appears crestfallen, as he walks across the playing field with a thoughtful air. Probably, in the moment prior to missing his shot, he was masterfully saved by the Argentine goalkeeper.
