Football: Attack of the Blues, except defense – The World

Antoine Griezmann, 25 March in Amsterdam.
>

There is one more appointment to the Blues on Tuesday against Russia at the Stade de France, to confirm ranging offensive and erase their imperfections, before the disclosure of the list of 23 on May 12.

Since turning away from Karim Benzema because of his alleged involvement in the case of the “sextape” Didier Deschamps is looking for alternatives in attack. And now, of course, the absence of the Spaniard does not affect the performance of the forward line. Without his great rival, Olivier Giroud seems even flourish and come to chain her 4 th goal in four games.

“Even if there is a delicate position in a club, it is a continuation of what he does with us, it was interesting in his support play, with many affinities with the midfield players and the offensive players’ commented the coach.

Giroud takes full advantage of the rise internationally Antoine Griezmann, author of the opening goal on a beautiful free kick. It is associated with Anthony Martial (Denmark, Germany) or Dimitri Payet as the Netherlands, the Griezmann-Giroud duo works well and the agreement between the two players, already perceptible in Denmark (2-1, the October 11) and especially against the German world champions (2-0, 13 November), is a source of promise.

what Deschamps complicate the task in its choices, while Benzema has strong likely to become selectable from April 15

  • Payet scored points

Dimitri Payet was not reappeared for France since June 13, and a sorry setback in Albania (1-0). But Deschamps, who did not appreciate all benefits of Reunion in selection or his behavior within the group, could not remain insensitive to his stunning season at West Ham and was offered a remedial session. Payet did not miss the offering in the Netherlands and is clearly positioned as a candidate in power for the Euro.

While not as influential in the Premier League he magnetized balls and did appreciate its striking quality, one who hit the post in the second half. “It was very good,” found Deschamps. “Payet confirms what he does with his club and it showed in his training week. He is in top form. “

In an attack that still has many unknown – they are called Benzema, Valbuena, Fekir, Ben Arfa, even Dembele – the former Marseille can start to believe .

  • a defense without insurance

If the attack is competitive and if Deschamps can count on a formidable trio in the middle (Pogba-Diarra-Matuidi), defense remains the main concern.

the cast is yet almost up to the Euro. The eight rear attending this course (Varane, Koscielny, Sakho, Mathieu Sagna, Jallet, Evra, Digne) are on track to be the appointment in June, unless the breeder might use the versatility of Jérémy Mathieu (axis and left) to eject Lucas Digne and add an extra element attack.

But the rear, including the hinge, like a little inspired Varane, seems feverish and the two goals conceded on set pieces, even the first tainted by a coarse hand ball, make mess before diving into the deep end of the Euro.

“it makes very, very good things, it’s infuriating to have to bow to situations, not due to the merit of the opponent but to careless mistakes on our part, “, said Deschamps, who knows that major tournaments are first win thanks to a good defense.
