On November 23, Beijing time, the second group match of Group D was held by defending champion France team against Australia. Before this game, in another game in Group D, Denmark played 0-0 with Tunisia. Four years later, the French team met Australia in their first World Cup game again. For them, the defending journey seemed very unsuccessful from the beginning. During the pre-World Cup training, midfielder Nkunku was injured by teammate Camavenga, and forward Benzema was also unfortunately injured and returned to Madrid early, but despite this, the French team's lineup is still very luxurious.
For fans who stayed up late, the two matches ended before this game ended 0-0. I still want to see that the French team with an All-Star forward can score a few more goals to cheer up. But unexpectedly, the first goal in this game was scored by Australia, and the French team's bad luck continued. In the conceding of the ball, defender Hernandez also suffered a sprain and had to leave the field early.
Due to Benzema's injury, the Giroud , who was originally considered to be a substitute, was still the starting center in this game. In this case, Mbappe and Demberle broke through and crossed to score a goal to equalize the score. Another point is Deschamps 's positioning against Griezmann is not fixed. Griezmann has organized attacks and attacks in the middle and wings. The effect of this decision is still considerable. Although Griezmann did not score, it can give the four stars the forwards the opportunity to play their own characteristics. Deschamps' idea is still very effective.
As for the problem of the defense line, in this game, Paval is absent due to injury, and the Australian team's players' footwork is also relatively rough, so it doesn't explain anything. The score I predicted for this game was that France beat Australia 3-1, but the result was actually similar to my prediction. I said that I was skeptical of the French team's performance in the first game of the back line, and there was indeed something wrong with this game.
To sum up from the perspective of the game, the French team's forward players in this game are in excellent condition and the cooperation is smooth. It seems that the defending champion curse is unlikely to come true this time. Of course, this cannot be said too damn. After all, there is also the Danish team in this group that doubled the French team in the European League. However, from their mental outlook and competitive state, the basic conditions for the curse to be triggered are actually not met. As for the Australian team, as an Asian team in the sense of the association, they may have become the background board like , Qatar , and Iranian teams have conceded 13 goals so far.
