The team of France confirmed its dynamic World Cup against Portugal (2-1). The Blues will now turn to less prestigious opponents where they will show the same commitment to continue their progression. Another story. Our cheat sheet
Game. Les Bleus are still on their laurels World
Brazilian dynamic is not broken. In his 4-3-3 team France left a good impression. If he had to review its defensive line with absences, Didier Deschamps chose to align midfielder (Cabaye, Matuidi-Pogba) and offensive line (Griezmann-Benzema-Valbuena) most often aligned Cup world. We saw the fruit, especially in the first period. In a rhythmic and intense game, the Blues have ideally started. They dominated the game by controlling the midfield and passing on the sides to make a difference.
After the break – especially in the fifteen minutes that followed the restart – the Portuguese, almost only against dangerous attacks in the first half were a little embarrassed El Tri, including winning the battle of the mid- field. But protected Didier Deschamps signed a solid game, especially in terms of intensity and application.

Players: Like rock Varane, the people of Madrid were keen to show
Opposed to his teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, Raphael Varane signed a recital. The Real Madrid defender has again demonstrated his talent with the Blues. Through his reading of the game, he accumulated interventions as clean as decisive and won all his games against the Ballon d’Or in 2013 Impressive defense, he increasingly knowledgeable about the game of French a breakthrough in the 11th and an opening at 17. A treat. Real Madrid teammate Karim Benzema himself has used this match to inflate his statistics. He finished with a goal and an assist for Paul Pogba.
Another Spaniard has shown. It is not, however, but Real and Atletico is Antoine Griezmann. It has many swapped with Valbuena was involved in cutting and pressing. Mainly in the first period as it was least seen after. For his part, Steve Mandanda was able to be decisive on the head of Cristiano Ronaldo. The small downside of the evening is to Eliaquim Mangala, who notably failed retries even if it is mounted power. Portuguese side, the side has been outstanding, including Eliseu, while Cristiano Ronaldo was contained in the set. For some Raphael Varane precisely.
The turning point that has not happened: Mandanda saved the Blues doubt
51st minute. For one of the few times of the game, Cristiano Ronaldo has the opportunity to speak his realism so famous. CR7 flies over a passive and Patrice Evra signs a downward header. Steve Mandanda then relaxes to perfection and places a firm hand to push the ball and allow Tri stay ahead.
The stat: 9
France should play Portugal more often. The Blues strung victories over the Portuguese, who did most beaten since April 26, 1975 (0-2). This Saturday, they signed their ninth consecutive victory against the Portuguese Seleção.
The tweet that made us smile
The decla: Didier Deschamps, coach of the Blues at the microphone TF1
“We’re on a thread that is very good. There has quality. This is to maintain this momentum.”
The question: The Blues will they manage to maintain their intensity in the face of less prestigious opponents?
It is not going to lie. This team of France won. In intensity, the Blues have yet to visit, especially in the first period. They were present at the dry cleaners, have envy in the tackle and showed some tantalizing offensive sequences. A copy in good order. But it was the Portugal side, a prestigious team with a certain Cristiano Ronaldo. Faced with this kind of opponent, it’s easy to get motivated. Just as it was against Spain (1-0). However, opponents are coming from a different ilk. Without insulting them, Armenia – in Yerevan on October 14 – and Albania – November 18 – it’s still not the same story.
Les Bleus will nevertheless show the same seriousness. Because if there is 20 months before the Euro, they must use each match to continue their progress. History of improving the little things in their game that can allow them to pass a course and compete with the best nations. In its long campaign of preparation for Euro 2016, France has no other choice but to use these games without issue. Young El Tri, as Paul Pogba, will not have to fall into the easy but show the same face as that glimpsed the face of this team of Portugal. Even if the opponent does not have the same pedigree. The future of this formation passes by. Sheltered Didier Deschamps to demonstrate that they have the potential but also the maturity to get there …
