First of all, this is not a serious competition, at the level of a world or European championship.
The main players France and Croatia came to this competition very tired after exhausting domestic competitions and without too much motivation and strength.
The main task of coaches is to try new players through this competition and not some sports result.
In addition, France was unlucky in the matches against Austria and Croatia and after the embarrassment against Austria, Croatia was forced to give preference to the main players in the matches against France and Denmark due to public pressure and great criticism, and this immediately affected the games and results.
