The French team scored a second victory in the Nations League by winning against Israel (1-4) this Thursday, after having already beaten Belgium on September 9. Deprived of Kylian Mbappé, left to rest for this October rally due to a biceps femoral injury, Didier Deschamps’ men dominated their opponents in the evening.
However, the performance of the Blues did not convince everyone. If Jocelyn Gourvennec underlined the collective solidity of the Tricolores, in particular with a good Aurélien Tchouaméni, Daniel Riolo expressed a more critical opinion. Indeed, the RMC Sport journalist admitted to being bored by this meeting, which he considered generally disappointing.
A problem pointed out
“Overall, did people have a good evening in front of their TV? It’s 4-1, and normally you’re happy when you see goals. But when you see the scenario and the first two goals… It’s a feat and a personal achievement,” declared the chronicler of theAfter Football.
“Apart from that, no actions, no collective movements, and you have the other two goals once you take a nap. And all this against a very weak team. If you ask people to rate the match, many will give more than 5/10? I don’t think so. The real problem with the Blues is that we don’t have fun”confided Riolo.
