The final matchup of the 2022 Qatar World Cup has been announced, Argentina vs. France. Whoever wins this game will win the third Hercules Cup in team history. The competition in this game attracted attention. Judging from the current status and strength, the French team is slightly better. The championship index given by relevant organizations is also 1.8 for the French team and 2.0 for the Argentine team.
As the defending champion of , the French team still has a super high talent reserve and a very strong lineup even though it lost many players before the game. The personnel on all three lines are very strong, especially after three group matches and three knockout rounds, the French team has developed a championship central axis, which will be the cornerstone of the French team's championship in the finals.
At present, the French team's strongest central axis has been revealed, goalkeeper Lori , central defender Konate, midfielder Griezmann, and striker Mbappe . This central axis allowed the French team to advance all the way to the World Cup finals, especially the match against Morocco , which demonstrated the power of this central axis.
In the frontcourt, Mbappe participated in the team's 2 goals in this game. After his shot in the penalty area was saved, his teammates followed up and scored. Especially for the second goal, Mbappe danced in the penalty area and missed the opponent's goal by one goal. Fortunately, Muani scored. Mbappe has already scored 5 goals in this World Cup.
In the midfield, Griezmann alone does the job of Pogba + Mbappe, he can attack when advancing and defend when retreating! In the game against Morocco, he even won the MVP award. Today Griezmann is the number one brain of the French team. He plays like Modric . He can pass, organize, and threaten the ball. He is also willing to be a green leaf. He is not arrogant and does all the dirty work. Whether it is strength or mentality, he is the same as Modric.
In the backcourt, Konate, who started this game, performed better than his partner Varane . In this game, he contributed 5 interceptions and 4 clearances, the most in the game, and tied for the most blocked shots with 2. Especially his defense on the wing has become a nightmare for Monaco attackers. Konate can be seen wherever there is danger. He intercepts at high altitude and on the ground. His big body prevents opponents from finding the ball point.
On the final goal line, Lloris, who was criticized by fans as the biggest weakness of the French team, completed another clean sheet against Morocco. Lori played very steadily in this game and kept the team's goal intact, helping the team advance to the finals. This is Lori's 8th clean sheet in the World Cup, ranking third in history. This game is also Lori's 19th starting appearance, tying Neuer , and tied for the goalkeeper with the most appearances in World Cup history.
The central axis of such a French team has already demonstrated the style of a champion! Mbappe's bursts in front of him turned the opponent's defense upside down. Even if he couldn't score, his teammates could still make mistakes. Midfielder Griezmann organizes interceptions and shoulders, and can also appear in his own penalty area, doing the dirty work together. On the defense line, Konate is like an iron wall, providing various supplementary defenses, assisting defenses, high-altitude interceptions, and ground tackles.
On the final goal line, Lori is the only one who can stop him! This posture is really a bit like that of Buffon in 2006. It is different from his performance in Tottenham. When he came to the national team, Lori seemed to have been redone, and his performance was very brave. The French team has created such a championship axis after 6 games. Facing Argentina and Messi in the final, what is there to fear? Looking forward to the performance of the French team in the final.
