Life lesson. In the midst of the euphoric celebration of the entire team of France after being crowned champion of the 2018 World Cup in Russia , Didier Deschamps stole the spotlight by approaching the players of Croatia to console them for the defeat of their team. A noble gesture that has gone around the world in a matter of minutes.
After lifting the Cup as captain of the 'Bleus' in 1998, Deschamps achieved his second star for France as coach of a team full of stars, which easily defeated Croatia 4-2 in the final of the most important tournament at the national team level.
''This is so beautiful, so wonderful'', said the emotional French coach after his team's 4-2 victory over Croatia in the World Cup final on Sunday in Moscow. "I am very happy with this group'', he added.
After winning France's second World Cup title in its history, Deschamps became the third man to win the World Cup as both a player and a coach, after the Brazilian Mario Zagallo and the German Franz Beckenbauer.
