The Blues are there! After a full match against Belgium, Deschamps's men have given themselves a little more to dream. The French team has confirmed the trend by being decisive in each line. From Lloris to Giroud, everyone showed himself to his advantage in his own way
Boring but terribly important
Certainly those are not the most elegant balloon players but what are they important. Matuidi was not very precise at the moment of playing the offensive shots but he played with his qualities and some of his centers could have hit if any Blue could cut the trajectory. On the defensive side the midfielder Juventus was inexhaustible as usual, his returns to cut the Belgian offensives many times.
On his side Giroud could have done much better, the former Gunner suffering from a terrible lack of address in front of the goal. But like Blaise Matuidi, Giroud did not count his efforts. He was the first defender of the Blues on the front of the attack and did not mind returning to defend when the Red Devils were harming the rearguard French defense. He also confirms that a team can climb into the World Cup final without a top-notch goleador. On this competition the strength of the fourth French striker (31) is elsewhere.
Varane the boss
He still delivered a real match boss. With an exceptional experience with Real Madrid in the last 6 years, just 25 years, Varane was the control tower of the Blues. Always at his ease in his work of anticipation, he rejected all the Belgian air attempts in the French surface. His friend in defense, Samuel Umtiti, suffered from the comparison from a defensive point of view although he scored the only goal of the match at the reception of a corner hit by Griezmann becoming the youngest French player to to score in the World Cup semi-final.
Lloris holds the house
Just like his match against Uruguay where he had saved the Blues from a double extraordinary parade while we were there still at 1-1, the last rampart of the Blues has again recidivated. We play the 22nd minute of this game and new Belgian corner. Aldeweireld receives the leather at the entrance to the surface and splits a pivoting shot that goes in the French goal but Lloris relaxes all the way to make a superb parade. For the rest Lloris was still very rebaduring in the air and vigilant on his line as when he had boxed a very powerful shot from Witsel (82 '). Lloris held the house he will have to do the same Sunday.
Hazard only true devil
The power of striking the Red Devils made salivating. And yet Hazard was very alone at the moment to put the Blues in difficulty. Lukaku, who was doing so much trouble in the middle of the field before going back to walk up the block, did not exist tonight. He could not properly control any ball that his teammates pbaded on to him, De Bruyne first. De Bruyne was not at his best. Aside from a great cross for Lukaku late in the game, the middle of City did not really exist. We could continue the list including Dembélé who went through but the observation is simple: only Hazard has shown the level. The player from Chelsea hit, dribbled, moved, hit … Unfortunately for him, he was too lonely tonight
Pogba, what a match
Finished the time when one could constantly reproach Pogba his level in Blue. Pogba still made a very good match against Belgium. Probably helped by Kanté who recovers an impressive number of ball, t at the four corners of the field, Pogba is more liberated to project and play his qualities. Pogba still distilled a few love balloons in the race of French attackers, we think in particular of the ball for Mbappe put on orbit between Kompany and Alderweireld after erasing Bruyne from a feint of devastating body. He also helped Kanté recover and was able to play the game late in the game using his physique wisely. Bravo "The Pickaxe"
