FOOTBALL They provide not having seen too good after their win streak …
A narrowly losing to future world champion, wins friendly against Spain or Portugal … It was enough to ignite a little. And down so soon after the Brazilian demonstration at the Stade de France on Thursday night. A little stunned by the gap world that seemed to separate them from their opponent, the Blues appeared more sheepish qu’énervés mixed zone. Evacuate the obvious answers: yes,
“- this is a setback for the team” (Valbuena)
“- But you know sometimes it’s good to take a little slap to bounce” (Schneiderlin)
“- It’s a blessing in disguise that will allow Blue to measure the path to the Euro” (Matuidi)
What is more interesting is obviously to try to understand why the Blues as little existed. Apart from their technical superiority, the Brazilians seemed to have more desire to win that game that the team of France. The duel won by Willian before Patrice Evra is the perfect example.
Perhaps because the France team has not eaten in its 7-1 World Cup there a few months. Perhaps because the France team believed that football had become easier after entering Spain and Portugal.
“Not at all! There’s not been an excess of confidence, cut Blaise Matuidi. We are aware that we have not done anything yet. Certainly the games we won but it was friendly and the World Cup is back. You have to look at but the goal is the Euro “Benzema continues:.” Perhaps some think that we will come back to earth, but it was already there. ” But if we put the question differently and you wonder why there was less pace than usual, the answer is a little different from the Parisian environment. “I could not give an answer but we see that when you put less intensity we know we can be sanctioned. This is one of our strengths. “
What in first hears that France actually fished in his approach to the game, but that it is still far from sufficient margin to afford not to play at 200% against an opponent like Brazil without exploding in flight. Evening captain Benzema summarizes: “We played in spurts. We had little moments but not enough. In a high-level game, you have to be thoroughly for 90 minutes “

And if our Bleus, most of Thursday night was the ever-present holders had acquired some comfort? Not impossible. Especially when we know that for most, this international period arrives just before April as exciting as tiring with their club, and the fear of injury or fatigue before the marathon can – at least unconsciously – weigh. “Not everything, and we like them, it’s the same,” replies Matuidi. That’s true, but Brazil must always buy after 7-1, which is not quite the case of the Blues. “We all have to prove, there is always a challenge. We must not look for excuses, Brazil has been stronger than we. “
