Paris, November 22 (Hu Zhen) According to Le Parisien, France will usher in its first World Cup tonight, but the lineup of this year is unparalleled compared to four years ago, and it is difficult to determine the winner or lose.
The French team led by coach Didier Deschamps will play against Australia at 8 o'clock tonight. Just like in 2018, the opponent in the first game was also Australia. Without the addition of the Benzema and Bocan combinations, the performance of the blue team is unpredictable for the time being.
In 2022, Didier Deschamps' World Cup roster was missing two starters Paul Pogba and Ngolo Kante. Last week's Monday to Saturday, the sudden situation continued. First, Presel Kinpenbe withdrew from this World Cup, and Kareem Benzema left due to injury. This year's French team lost several major players in a row. But the coach said he was not worried about this issue and predicted that France will still present a very high-level game to the world.
In the previous European National League , France lost to Croatia and Denmark, and the players also suffered from injuries. Although Rafael Varane returned to save the game and was about to participate in the game against Australia, the format is still not optimistic. The lack of cooperation between outstanding players is an objective weakness.
Some people also have the opposite attitude, believing that Benzema's absence can give Mbappe more room to play. He is very likely to lead the French team to win the Golden Ball . Mbappe scored a key goal against Peru before, and was also unstoppable in the final against Croatia (4-2), so Mbappe's return will surely continue to write the myth.
coach Didier also said: Mbappe himself has the qualities that many high-quality players have. He has grown further in the past four years. His amazing ability and ability to score goals have become stronger. He also understands that he has more responsibilities. Mbappe knows how to work together, and at the same time he also has a quality that players rarely have, that is, he is very decisive at all times.
Looking at this year's lineup, Olivier Giroud will definitely leave his own results. He has made great progress compared to four years ago. In the eyes of coaches, he is also the one who has improved the most; Benjamin Pavard and Lucas Hernandez have unparalleled and powerful defensive capabilities, each with its own style, but the cooperation has always been very harmonious; young geniuses Leipzig and Chu Ameni are expected to continue writing the legend of the combination of Kante and Pogba four years ago.
At the same time, we should not forget that although the French team won Australia four years ago, the match definitely made the French team very uncomfortable and tormented. On the other hand, with the experience of playing against Australia, the French team later matured a lot; this year's French team seems to be full of talents, but the restructuring of the midfield means that the original midfield strategy has all failed. We will wait and see whether the human sea tactics to make up for can work at 8 o'clock tonight.
