Disillusionment for the Blues! Beaten by Croatia (0-2) Thursday, in the quarter-final first leg of the League of Nations, the French team delivered a poor performance. Almost absent in the first period, the Kylian Mbappé teammates failed to overthrow the steam in the second period. They did not respond. This performance disappointed more than one, notably Alain Giresse who was not tender with the men of Didier Deschamps.
“There is no rational explanation, when everyone is at this point in unison with what should not be done!” The Blues had no pace or commitment. They did not respond, either individually or collectively that the opponent imposed. Behind, it was feverish, the environment was out of date and our attackers did not create a difference. Except on the two possibilities for Mbappé, a sort of exceptions confirming the rule of an insipid first half. She did not look like nothing and necessarily forced Didier Deschamps to raise the suspenders of her players ”analyzes the former French international in the columns of the team.
You have to put rhythm
He believes, all the same, a qualification during the return match which will take place on Sunday at the Stade de France. “The basis is to believe it, so of course it's playable!” But it will be necessary to present something else at all levels, of course by making changes. It will be necessary to both have control and put rhythm, but with intelligence and lucidity. The Croats will surely wait for the Blues, so we will have to go and get them, putting speed, especially in the circulation of the balloon ”explains the ex-midfielder.
