然而，出乎球迷担忧的是，正是没有支柱，帮助法国队摆脱了自2002年以来一直困扰着世界杯冠军的魔咒。

From the outside, the fact that coach Deschamps created a lot of personnel disturbances in a team that already has a set style of play can be seen as a risky decision.
在外界看来，主帅德尚在这支打法已成定局的球队中制造了很多人事风波，可以说是一个冒险的决定。
 
However, this act of his breathed a new breath into the way the team played, helping the French team avoid the mistakes that the previous World Cup champions made.
不过，他的这一举动为球队的比赛方式注入了新的气息，帮助法国队避免了历届世界杯冠军犯下的错误。
 
Coaches of past World Cup-winning teams often put their faith in their pillars in the next World Cups and have to pay the price for this decision.
往届世界杯夺冠球队的教练们，往往会在下一届世界杯上寄希望于自己的支柱，并为此付出代价。
 
When the Italian team reached the World Cup finals in Mexico in 1986 as defending champions, eight of the 11 players in coach Enzo Bearzot's starting line-up were names who played in the final. ended in 1982.
当意大利队在 1986 年以卫冕冠军的身份杀入墨西哥世界杯决赛圈时，教练恩佐·贝尔佐特 (Enzo Bearzot) 首发的 11 名球员中有 8 名曾参加过决赛。 1982年结束。

“Thien Thanh”队在 2010 年重复了这一动作，当时教练马塞洛·里皮召集了一系列 30 岁以上的球员，他们为赢得 2006 年世界杯做出了巨大贡献。

然而，抵达南非的这支拥有卡纳瓦罗、赞布罗塔和加图索等名将的球队却未能在与对手巴拉圭、新西兰和斯洛伐克的相当有利的小组中取得胜利。

"Once you win the championship and are selected to the squad for the next World Cup, everything is different. You still have talented players, still represent the same country with history. rich in tradition. However, in some moments, you always find a certain element missing," said coach Carlos Alberto Parreira.
“一旦你赢得冠军并被选入下一届世界杯的大名单，一切都不同了。你仍然有才华横溢的球员，仍然代表同一个具有历史的国家。富有传统。然而，在某些时刻，你总能找到一个缺少某些元素，”教练卡洛斯·阿尔贝托·佩雷拉说。
 
Parreira led Brazil to the championship in 1994, but could not repeat this in 2006 when he was given the opportunity to lead the Brazilian team - now the defending world champion. "Seleção" received a defeat in the quarterfinals despite having a lineup of many attacking stars such as Ronaldo, Adriano, Ronaldinho and Kaká.

2006年世界杯最后一轮，尽管这支球队是本届世界杯的卫冕冠军，但因球技而被昵称为“外星人”的罗纳尔多未能带领巴西队深入人心。
 
After reaching the finals in three consecutive World Cups between 1994-2002, perhaps the Brazilian team became complacent and lost motivation.
在1994-2002年连续三届世界杯打进决赛之后，或许巴西队变得沾沾自喜，失去了动力。
 
The same goes for other champions in the past. Including the French team, the country was eliminated after the group stage at the 2002 World Cup final despite being the defending champion of the tournament.
过去的其他冠军也是如此。包括法国队在内，这个国家在2002年世界杯决赛小组赛阶段被淘汰出局，尽管是该届赛事的卫冕冠军。
Injuries to Zinedine Zidane and Robert Pires have reduced the creativity of the French team, and the defending World Cup and Euro champions are expected to easily qualify for the group stage when only facing Senegal, Uruguay and Denmark Circuit.
齐达内和皮雷的伤病削弱了法国队的创造力，世界杯和欧洲杯卫冕冠军在面对塞内加尔、乌拉圭和丹麦巡回赛的情况下有望轻松晋级小组赛。
 
However, the fact that some members of the French team refer to the Senegal team as the "French B team" shows the arrogance and lack of focus of the reigning world champions.
不过，法国队部分队员将塞内加尔队称为“法国B队”，足见卫冕世界冠军的傲慢与不专注。
 
Senegal's Papa Bouba Diop's decisive goal was one of many defeats for "Les Bleus", which knocked the team out of last place after the group stage in 2002.
塞内加尔的 Papa Bouba Diop 的决定性进球是“Les Bleus”的众多失利之一，该队在 2002 年小组赛后被淘汰出最后一名。

尽管没有真正的右后卫来代替他，但德尚还是决定罢免帕瓦尔，这表明这位法国教练具有帮助法国避免重蹈世界杯决赛的覆辙所需的实用主义。 2002.
 
Mr Deschamps' pragmatism, combined with the fact that the France coach is always focused on the next game instead of the whole tournament - something many other coaches fail to do, could be key. The French team made history.
德尚先生的实用主义，再加上这位法国教练总是专注于下一场比赛而不是整场比赛——许多其他教练都没有做到这一点，这可能是关键。法国队创造了历史。

12 月 18 日晚上对阵阿根廷的决赛将决定法国是否成为六十年来第一支成功卫冕世界杯冠军的球队。
