In good humor at the beginning and at the end, studious in the middle, the Tricolores carried out classic training from the Didier Deschamps era two days before a match: technical warm-up then split races at a progressive pace for the entire team. group then, while the starters from Friday against the Netherlands had returned to the locker room, a passing circuit with finishing and work in front of goal. Deja vu, often, but necessarily a little more special for “the first team to have four points without having scored a goal”, joked midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni at a press conference.
“Very good Kylian”
Winners of Austria on an own goal from defender Wöber, author of the only 0-0 of the competition against the Netherlands, the French went through the start of the Euro with missed opportunities as a distinctive sign, without consequences until ‘here. “As long as we create chances, there is no problem. We know that we have world-class attackers. Being more clinical is an area of progress,” continued the Bordeaux resident.
From the outset or during the game, Kylian Mbappé should be required to contribute his share in a team that has not changed much. After the mixed opposition with the Paderborn U21s on Saturday, the striker tested two different masks this Sunday, before throwing it away for the hitting session. “We all know Kylian. When he’s on the pitch, he’s 100%. I found him very good, he is getting used to his mask, that was the main objective. Physically he is good, mentally too. He scored, he made people score, he was fully part of the game. Very good Kylian, as usual,” commented right-back Jonathan Clauss.
