The Blues’ scores after – Israel (4-1): Camavinga radiant, Olise disappointing

Mike Maignan : 5

The Milanese had a little hesitation on the Israeli goal, which explains the few centimeters he ultimately missed. For the rest, it was a match without fever. He simply ensured the kick-offs.

  • In short… Quiet evening.

Jules Koundé: 5

A good start to the match rewarded by the action of the goal which he launched from a cross. Very concentrated behind, he however narrowly missed in the opposing camp. Particularly in the second half where his technical relationship with Olise was difficult.

  • In short… Quiet behind, average in front.

Ibrahima Konate: 6

Faced with such timid adversity, the Liverpool mirror cabinet played on velvet. He won his duels with disconcerting ease and even allowed himself a few sharp raises. A match on his hand.

William Saliba : 5

A tough match too even if he was taken behind his back by Gandelman (24th) on the Israeli goal. Behind, he controlled the defense with great confidence. Very interesting in his long restarts, like a millimeter opening for Nkunku (21st), he is at the origin of the fourth French goal on a good recovery.

  • In short… Great relaunches.

Theo Hernandez: 6

Rather discreet at the start of the match, he gained momentum even though he was never worried defensively. He first gave an excellent ball to Kolo Muani (87th) before offering the last goal to Guendouzi (88th).

Replaced by Lucas Digne (90th).

Aurélien Tchouaméni: 7

It’s been some time since we’ve seen him so dominant in his area of ​​play. Is it the armband that gave him wings or the weakness of the opposition? No doubt a bit of both but we found the Tchouaméni sharp and intense in all four corners of the pitch. He is the main reason why Israel did not exist on Thursday. The Madrilenian has regained his precision in the forward game.

  • In short… With such a dense Tchouaméni, that changes everything.

Replaced by Warren Zaire-Emery (90th).

Edward Camavinga :

He danced among his opponents for 70 minutes. His ball handling drove the Israelis crazy. His goal, certainly fortunate, started his match well and it was he who found Nkunku on the Blues’ second goal. His activity completely extinguished the opposing midfielder and he did a lot of harm in his forward transmissions. A real full match despite a stupid card picked up too early (18th).

  • In short… A benchmark match for him in the selection.

Replaced by Youssouf Fofana (70th)

Ousmane Dembélé: 5

He started strong, very strong with some interesting combinations on the right side. And if he had scored after an action of 60 meters and a relay with Nkunku (12th), he would have been entitled to a place at the Louvre. Very comfortable, he stuffed Kolo Muani and Nkunku into centers which did not always make good use of them. On the left in the second half, he disappeared from the radar a little even if his laser pass triggered the last goal for the Blues. On the other hand, he must apply more on corners.

Michael Olise : 3,5

He started his adventure in Blue with a lot of lightness and carelessness during a successful first selection. This Thursday, the weight of the jersey caught up with him and he was one of the few to make more bad choices than good choices. The Munich player, despite being in full swing at Bayern, never broke free. His understanding with his teammates did not seem natural, Olise forced a lot in the center then on the right. Too bad because he is an important face in the reconstruction of this French team.

  • In short… Discreet then clumsy.

Replaced by Bradley Barcola (70th)author of a goal which definitely confirms his excellent start to the season.

Christopher Nkunku: 6

For his first goal, he did things well on a classy individual action in the middle of a forest of legs. The former Parisian got off to a difficult start with a check that took too long and some inaccuracies. But he got back into his match well with, in particular, a good technical understanding with Dembélé. Much more discreet after the break.

  • In short… Counter unlocked.

Replaced by Mattéo Guendouzi (76th), author of a goal and an assist which crowned an entry into the game full of energy and desire. Impressive.

Randal Kolo Muani: 5

It’s almost always the same song with him. In the middle, he had difficulty existing but as soon as he moved to one side, he found space and edge like on this one-touch deflection for Dembélé (45th). It is he who finds Camavinga behind on the opening score.
