France-Brazil, tactics, players, stats, the cheat sheet: The Blues had … – Eurosport.fr

Devoured envy, the team of France has signed its worst performance since a year and a half. Too easy, the Blues fell logically. Is it serious? But not yet … Our cheat sheet.

The game: The Blues eaten in the intentions, imprecise in transmissions

         Brazil had decided to play high and incessantly hindered the recovery of the Blues. Technically very clumsy, very shy in the tackle, France has never stuck his head out of the water despite a successful opening score (21st). Only marvelous free kick from Mathieu Valbuena have posed a real threat to the goal of Jefferson. For the rest, it was only a inaccuracies festival. Brazil was not great either. But Dunga’s men were bitten in the game. Apart ten minutes around the hour mark, the Blues have been stepped on.
       



Players: The ordeal of Sagna, Neymar the festival

         Sagna has lived a nightmare to face Neymar and completely sealed the Blues. On the other side, Evra was not reassuring. Sakho played firefighters and, at his side, Varane was also inspired offensively and feverish behind. Griezmann, as so often when starting in Blue, never existed. For the first time captain, Benzema has been effective but it has not had much to put in their mouths.
       

         Auriverde side Neymar has messed on the ball socket. Firmino, perhaps neither Ronaldo or Romario but weighed on the French defense and provided the first goal for Oscar. In the second half, Willian gave the shot in Evra. Behind Thiago Silva did the job with sobriety.

The turning point that did not happen: Benzema had EQ to toe

         60th minute: the Stade de France quietly asleep mouth open while Brazil has a game in hand (1-2). But Valbuena, in a mouse hole, delivers a perfect cross for Benzema, absolutely alone at the far post. Transparent in the last 16 meters far, the center forward of the Blues will bring his own in the match against the run of play. But his shot flew far, far away from the goal of Jefferson. Too Bad …
       



The stat 2

         This is only the second time in their history that the Blues cashing three goals at the Stade de France after the defeat to Russia on 5 June 1999.
       



The tweet that made us smile:

The declara: Valbuena did not recognize the blue

“It’s hard to accept. It shows all the work that remains. The Euro 2016 arrives quickly. It was not as d usual tonight. We also ran into a strong team of Brazil. It has been a high level of game and it is paid in cash. “

The question: This defeat should it call into question the choice of Deschamps?

         I Do Not. This is not a defeat against Brazil as laborious as it is, which is to delete one year of success. It is not burning today what we loved yesterday. But the match was played on envy. For Brazil, it was a real poster, eight real test after the humiliation in the World Cup.
       

         For France, it was only a friendly match played at a rate of senators. Without intention, without daring, without chill. With a lack of involvement and patent intensity. Something tells us that Didier Deschamps in huge perfectionist that he is, did not have to enjoy. Brazil wanted to hand, France did not feel like much and played it too easy. In a Stade de France in the cozy atmosphere, maybe the band Benzema was caught by routine friendlies that imposes direct qualification for Euro 2016. On Thursday, she signed undoubtedly its worst service from the dam in Ukraine (2-0 November 2013).
       

         Perhaps the hierarchy is it also too clear in this France team for a year, maybe more should we shake up the certainties. Ultimately, apart Sagna, hopeless, alone have pulled their game are the ones that are not considered as indisputable (Schneiderlin in the first period, Sissoko, Mandanda). It is probably no coincidence.
