France put on the Uruguay suit and beat it with the same cure, rocky and hard football, to win 0-2, with goals from Raphael Varane and Antoine Griezmann with whom he reached the semifinals of the World Cup of Russia
Throughout the week it was debated whether Griezmann, a lover of Uruguayan culture, was Uruguayan or French. Luis Suárez said that he was Gauls, that he had nothing to do with his country, and these statements turned against him with a "slap" to his team.
In the 90 minutes that lasted the duel, Griezmann was not the only Uruguayan, it was all the team of France, who played a very Uruguayan football to finish with the. team of Tabárez. He always played the game, scored one goal, another by chance and achieved his goal: to go to the penultimate round of the World Cup.
Didier Deschamps 's men knew that they were going to find a team that had nothing to do with Argentina, an anarchic team that never knew what' s going on. they played during the World Cup. Kylian Mbappé, eighth, took advantage of the Sampaoli quilombo box and a road ahead of him signed several gallops worthy of an athlete who destabilized his rival.
But Uruguay has nothing to do. It's just the opposite. He knows exactly what he does. Your system is very well defined, you can almost recite the memory alignment and all players, without exception, are prey. And all, without leaving a single space, are grouped around their keeper, Fernando Muslera.
Mbappé was found without the terrain with which his stride appears. Uruguay gave nothing to the Paris Saint-Germain striker and during the first half, Mbappé barely left a start that quickly stopped with the Help from all Charrúas players.
Uruguay the definition of his pair Luis Suárez-Cavani, was lame. Without the second, injured, the team of Oscar Tabárez lost this last detail in attack that always makes the difference. Christian Stuani, his substitute, is a correct player. But this is not Cavani
This was noticed on one of the rare occasions when he had Uruguay at the beginning, when a Diego Laxalt interned by the l 39; left wing could not finish well the Girona player. Subsequently, the rebound fell to the feet of Nahitan Nández, who returned to the center of the area. Once again, Stuani did not succeed. Perhaps, if it had been Cavani, the story would have been different.
But this lack of success did not lower his arms to Uruguay which followed his. Between Rodrigo Bernancur, Lucas Torreira, Nández and Matías Vecino, all to one, they canceled all the center of the French ground, which also played to that, to retain their opponents. He was not defeated in this aspect. On the contrary, they all lost and finally France benefited.
Indeed, in front of Varane's goal, the canvas had only one occasion in Mbappé's head, which did not hit Olivier Giroud's left. There were no more approaches from the Deschamps team, which, paradoxes of life, progressed on the scoreboard before the break through Uruguay's preferred method : set-piece. At the end of the first 45 minutes, Antoine Griezmann, gone until then, took a fault from the right wing measured at Varane's head. Muslera was unable to save his shot and on the score he wore a sum of 0-1. Some fought with exhaustion without a price and the others found it among the Uruguayan claw.
With this same claw, Uruguay was able to tie in the last breath of the first act, but Hugo Lloris made a paradon after a Martín Cáceres pulls on the shoulder after a free kick from Torreira . Godin, in rejection, with all in favor, sent the ball into the clouds when he was under the goal.
Without further ado, the break was reached. Everything had to be decided, but France rubbed her hands. Uruguay had to advance his lines to fetch the draw and a future road was drawn for the confrontation of Mbappé
Then, just when Tabárez put more electricity in the shock with two substitutions (Stuani and Bentancur by "Cebolla" Rodríguez and Maxi Gómez), came the unfortunate game of the afternoon: Griezmann pulled from outside the area by Muslera and Uruguayan goalkeeper cleared the ball.
The Atlético player did not celebrate so much He remained petrified, looking at the horizon. It even seemed sad, for Luis Suárez to say that it is nothing Uruguayan. He is French, indeed, but he feels the colors of Charrúas. Or, at least, he respects them.
Such was the anecdote of the game, which preceded the action that definitely stopped any reaction of Uruguay . Mbappé was responsible for spreading the shock exaggerating a touch of "Cebolla" Rodriguez and created a good scrum in which Godín, Nández and Pogba appeared as main agitators.
France had definitely managed to knock out his rival base to play almost like him. His Uruguayan game allowed the men of Deschamps to live the last part of the shock-free shock
Uruguay surrendered and with few arguments, ended his adventure in Russia after signing a first phase immaculate in which He overcame many of his own records. He could not match the semifinals of South Africa 2010 and his rival, the most Uruguayan France, will be in the semifinals
