Saved by Griezmann! Friday, the team of France could have Albania in a friendly in Rennes, and finally leaves with the null result (1-1). The Blues have a debt of gratitude to the striker of Atletico Madrid striker (73) after the opener of Mavraj for visitors (41).
Didier Deschamps will not be totally satisfied. The national coach, who experimented on Friday a 4-4-2 diamond against Albania with Cabaye in recovery and Valbuena in support of an attack consisting of Benzema and Lacazette duo, saw Tri long dominated by their opponent Scoreboard. Of course, teammates Lorik Cana have long been under the yoke of the French game but the opening goal after 41 minutes, has also failed to end a series of four matches without a loss of El Tri.
At the Stade de Route de Lorient, the Blues have also already displayed some shortcomings, such as the set pieces. Main source of opportunities for Albania, the other corners and free kicks even allowed him to open the scoring, late in the first period, freeing Mavraj marking of Paul Pogba and Raphael Varane to place an uncrossed head off scope of Hugo Lloris (41, 1-0). A goal not necessarily undeserved, while Hugo Lloris had already had to work from the outset with a header from close range at Cana (2).
But the Blues have also not necessarily worn by luck. Steeped in good intentions in the first fifteen minutes of play, protected Didier Deschamps tried, played a key ball stretched defensive unit refocused visitors. In vain, since no more Lacazette on a recovery attempt on the head of Sissoko to 5 meters 50 (19), as Cabaye, with a half-volley distant and bold (21st), have managed to make contribution Berisha doorman. An action initiated by the Magpie and pursued by Worthy left, Valbuena was he also too short (30th) to force the decision.
He then took until the second half to see improvement, especially in the last passes and last acts. Always full of envy and dominating in terms of possession, France took advantage of the coming into play of Antoine Griezmann, instead of too little influence Yohan Cabaye in the middle, to get back into the debate. Faced with a strengthened defense, quarter-finalists in the last World Cup (beaten 1-0 by Germany) had also not necessarily need a # 6. And a side as offensive as Christophe Jallet right as Lucas Digne also left the Altetico Madrid striker was able to express its full potential for even a shot from the left along the first post (73rd ). Against Sweden, perhaps without Zlatan Ibrahimovic, at the Velodrome in four days, the Blues can not afford such an approximation on the set pieces. Because, unlike Albania, the Blagult have other tricks up their sleeve to win in Marseille earth.
