Dominant for a good part of the match, France finally conceded a draw against Poland. A result due to a poorly managed end of the match. Entering on the hour mark, Antoine Griezmann was directly targeted.
What a waste for the Blues. Clearly superior to Poland on paper, France failed to gain the upper hand over the bottom of Group D this Tuesday evening. The regrets were all the stronger as Deschamps’ team found the fault in the second half, leading for 25 minutes. It is difficult to predict Upamecano’s fault and the penalty converted by Robert Lewandowski. However, the French team had time to score a second goal. She never knew how to get the match going and sufficiently shake up a fairly weak Polish team.
Did Deschamps kill Griezmann?
The 11 French players lined up at the end of the match are targeted, particularly the entrants. Dave Appadoo didn’t pull any punches, explicitly charging Antoine Griezmann. For him, the Atlético Madrid player made an entry unworthy of his status in the French team and he did not show flawless motivation. “ Giroud we know that he is the final link, if nothing happens he is not the one who will take the ball. But, Griezmann his entry is scandalous! No desire, no technique, no accuracy, little inspiration, no involvement! “, he said in Greg’s Team.
An analysis which will divide French supporters, few of whom criticized Antoine Griezmann on social networks. On the Chaine l’Equipe set, his analysis was not unanimous. Karim Bennani preferred to charge Ousmane Dembélé, guilty of a third failed performance in three matches on a technical level. Ludovic Obraniak recognized Antoine Griezmann’s difficulties. Nevertheless, he attacked Didier Deschamps who put him on the bench. According to the former Lille player, Grizou’s poor form results from a lack of rhythm associated with a loss of confidence on a moral level. One thing is certain, this Tuesday confirmed that without a good Griezmann France will have difficulty getting to the end of this Euro. Didier Deschamps has 6 days to get his midfield metronome back in the saddle.
