France head coach Didier Deschamps inserted Hugo Ekitike into a questionable position as the 23-year-old adjusts to life with Alexander Isak at Liverpool.
Ekitike's spot with the French national team had been up in the air, as the young star was initially not included in this month's World Cup qualifiers.
Toward the end of stoppage time, Deschamps brought Ekitike into the match, and less than one minute later, the match was over.
Another added: "Deschamps subbing in Ekitike to play 30 seconds, I don't understand managers who do this."
Another commenter posted their colorful view on what transpired with Ekitike and Deschamps, stating that what the 23-year-old experienced was not right.
