"Calm, trust and determination." The recipe of coach Didier Deschamps on the eve of the final of the 2018 World Cup was followed closely by French players. With consistency from the beginning to the end of the tournament, and even a night inspired by their trident Griezmann giants, Mbappé and Pogba, the French team won the title by beating Croatia 4-2 at the Luzhniki stadium in Moscow. 19659002] In the Cup that definitely put football in the era of technology, raised the cup the country that is best prepared, which merged with the individual individual talent with the collective game, which resisted the pressure and who believed in his players. It was also a prize to bet on youth. France had the second youngest World Cup team, averaging only 25.6 years.
Justice is a bit peculiar in football. In the first edition of a Cup with the use of VAR (Referee Video Assistant), the competition was imbued in the computerized help to the field judge. Is it a foul on the pitch that gave Mandzukici a goal? And the ball that hits Perisic's hand would justify the penalty? For Argentine Néstor Pitana, who whistled the decision, the answers were yes.
The fact that VAR undermined Croatia's selection does not mean that the league title did not remain with the one who deserved it. On the pitch, the French gave their word, played the ball, were more accurate than the Croats, made a campaign without correction and still show the world of players who will give what to talk, like the Mbappé boy.
The campaign ended with six wins and one draw when they played with the reserve team against Denmark. On the 630 minutes, the team was behind in the marker only in nine, in the octaves before Argentina. The incumbents had impeccable performances. Goalkeeper Lloris, for example, was decisive against Uruguay and Belgium in previous stages, but failed in Croatia's second goal – the goalkeepers failed.
Pavard and Lucas Hernández, the sides, must be among the best in the World Cup: balanced in the mission to defend and attack. Defensive midfielder Varane and Umtiti formed a confidence defense – Varane ended the World Cup with two fouls, reminding White, the main defender of the 1998 World Cup title campaign.
N & # Golo Kanté was a giant. His worst performance, incredible as it may seem, was in the final; Pogba was a monster in tagging, I needed disarms and awareness to catch the ball and look for his companions; Matuidi pbaded the Cup without being seen, scoring without giving up, still in silence. In the final, the France team and its team spirit prevailed. One for all and all for one. His semi-attackers were a case apart in the competition. Griezmann brought to Russia the signature of his Atletico de Madrid, commissioned by Simeone. He runs the pitch, scores, speaks to the referee, kicks the ball and turns the game around. A good player. Mbappé stole the scene. He is one of those rare gems – at 19, he became the second "boy" to score in the Cup final. The other was Pele, at age 17, in 1958, when Brazil beat Sweden 5-2 and won its first title.
Among the starters, a discount to the shirt 9 Giroud. "But an attacker who does not score has value?" For this team from France, yes, because it has pulled the mark countless times on the sides. Thus, Mbappé and Griezmann found themselves with less space and less rivals. Sprinters, easily pbaded by their slower markers. When it is won, everything is valued.
Finally, there is one that was launched by the athletes, still on the field: Didier Deschamps. He pbaded on his championship experience to a young, talented and excited group like him 20 years ago. Even when it was time to give him ear tugs, she was doing it like a Frenchman. He won, convinced and was affectionately celebrated by his players. Twice World Cup champion and England hope
