After the split against the Netherlands, the Blues are in second place in group D. Just like the Dutch, our southern neighbors have 4 points but have only scored one goal while our northern neighbors have registered two.
From then on, France will have to beat Poland with a notable goal difference if they hope to finish at the top of the group and, a priori, face a weaker team in the round of 16. And when the Blues need to score goals, they often rely on Kylian Mbappé.
Orphans of Mbappé, the Blues have work to do
Out injured (in the nose) against the Austrians, Mbappé remained on the bench the entire match against the Netherlands. Following his fracture, his bone was still too fragile and the mask he had to wear bothered him.
According to L’Equipe, the player who will play next season at Real Madrid is getting used to his new mask, which obstructs his vision less and sees his bone solidifying. Our colleagues argue that his return to Didier Deschamps’ starting eleven is “seriously considered”.
Good news therefore, for the Blues who will play against Poland, already eliminated from the tournament.
