" We are not going to hide it: the French style and ultra-realistic identity are rather ugly ensures the former international Hatem Ben Arfa . And I I do not want this style to become the norm in training centers or clubs. "Despite the victory, critics are born and two schools are opposed: the fervent defenders of the beautiful game, disappointed with choice of a rich coach of offensive talents against the militants of "the win".
This trial against the coach is unfair. First, contrary to what Thibaut Courtois states, France did not play " 11 players in front of goal ". It evolved with a compact block, ready to counter based on a direct game. Result, a high average of two goals per game.
France – United States, the big turn?
Guy Stéphan explained in a press conference that there was " a moment of rupture " during which Didier Deschamps reoriented his plan for the world. A week before the competition, the Blues come out of a defensive tie on the defensive to modest Americans (1-1). Lloris Mendy and Sidibé are guilty of a largely avoidable goal. A defeat that greatly displeased the coach.
The two preparation matches, tackled in 4-3-3 offensive have been used for this: review the game plan to solidify the defensive block. If Didier Deschamps has the image of an afficionado of the defensive game, he nevertheless tried to put fire in front. In the first match of preparation, he aligns an attack Mbappé – Griezmann – Dembélé supported by a medium Tolisso – Kanté – Pogba . Rebelote for the opening of the world against Australia (2-1).
Lloris challenged after France – United States
The misfortune of some makes the happiness of others
The experience of 4-3-3 runs short, three small games and then leaves. Since Euro 2016, the 4-2-3-1 with Giroud in point seems too entrenched in the DNA of the Blues to disrupt everything. And Didier Deschamps knows more than anyone since his coronation in 1998, the defensive base is essential to get a world title.
Consequence, even if it was physically impaired, the pair of lateral Sidibé – Mendy fate in favor of the duo Pavard – Hernandez ]. The two surprises of the 23 offer a profile much more defensive. In difficulty this season at Monaco Thomas Lemar lost his place. Yet protected by Deschamps during qualifying, the southpaw is ahead of the position of left wing by … Blaise Matuidi .
Combat and physical intensity take precedence over the talent and quality of the ball. Lovers of good play, possession and express combinations may have a bitter taste after the performances of the French. That they are rebadured, the flavor of a second star softened the least annoyance.
