“It could be our USSR of 1986”: Le Vestiaire prefaces the clash of our Red Devils against France

The match between Belgium and France is this Monday already. Le Vestiaire could not miss it, especially since the Red Flame Janice Cayman was the guest this Saturday evening.

France are widely considered favourites for the round of 16 against our Red Devils. However, Didier Deschamps’ men also had a complicated group stage, with one win and two draws, and, above all, no goals scored from open play (1 penalty and an own goal).I think they can’t play their game. It’s good for the Devils, I hope it will help us hurt them. They’re not at their best either, if we avoid corners, that’s good” smiles Red Flame Janice Cayman, our guest this evening.

The advantage that France has over our national team is mainly on paper.”They have no excuses when you see their bench, the quality they have. It’s not all about Mbappé, there are so many players. There’s too much quality to miss“, notes Thomas Chatelle. “France has two teams that are stronger than ours. But it could be our USSR of 1986, there too we were given 0 chance to go through, and everyone played the game of their lives. That will be necessary against France, otherwise, it is impossible to beat them“, thinks Marc Delire.

A match like that must be great for a coach.” then surprises our journalist before explaining, “because you were beaten. When you look at France, they play Real, Juve, PSG. Behind us are Leicester, Rennes, Wolfsburg, middle-class clubs. But, in one match, they can send Mbappé into the railings. Everyone has to make the perfect match” thinks Marc Delire.

And to succeed in eliminating the last finalists of the World Cup, Janice Cayman would think of aligning Openda”for the transition. It’s hard, I know, but I think it can be good in transition“, suggests the Leicester player.

We will have to be at our best, hyper realistic, because it is not going to be the France-Belgium of the 2018 World Cup, it is they who will dominate and we who will have opportunities. What gives me hope is that Belgium has never been as strong as when Lukebakio was there. It’s strange to say, because he’s not our star at all, but I think that with him, there are moves to be made in reconversion“, finally adds Thomas Chatelle.
