3 things learned after France's defeat against Germany

Didier Deschamps and his team suddenly had to suffer a defeat at home against the German team despite being rated much higher.

England: lion or kitten?

1. The French team faces difficulties without Antoine Griezmann

Antoine Griezmann was forced to return to Atletico Madrid due to injury and this unintentionally put the French team in a difficult position. For a long time, the player born in 1991 has been considered an important pillar in the "Rooster" midfield, with many contributions in both offensive and defensive aspects.

The concerns of "Les Bleus" fans are completely well-founded, when in the recent friendly match between France and Germany, despite being rated much higher than their opponents, coach Didier Deschamps' team was surprised. had to admit defeat with a score of 0-2 right at home.

The French midfield was disappointing

Notably, the French team's midfield with the trio of Warren Zaire-Emery, Aurelien Tchouameni and Adrien Rabiot appeared completely outmatched under pressure from the away team's players. Without Antoine Griezmann, "Les Bleus" lost their creativity and ability to hold the ball.

2. Rays of hope for Germans

"Die Mannschaft" fans probably won't be happy after recent disappointing results. The German team has many problems on all three lines and coach Julian Nagelsmann's revolution is only in the early stages.

However, the victory over France can bring many positive points for the coach born in 1987 and his students. His tactical impressions help the German team play better. For 90 minutes, they somewhat played on the feet of the French despite being rated weaker in terms of personnel quality.

Germans have reason to feel optimistic

Robert Andrich, Florian Wirtz, Jamal Musiala, Kai Havertz are the names that played well in today's match, not to mention the return of midfielder Toni Kroos. At least, "Die Mannschaft" fans have the right to hope before entering the home tournament.

3. The French defense brings question marks

Instead of letting people who are in high form at their parent club like William Saliba or Ibrahima Konate play in the center of the defense, coach Didier Deschamps decided to use Jules Kounde to pair with Dayot Upamecano as an experiment. tactically.

This choice of the French strategist does not seem to be effective. Although it's hard to blame them for the first loss, throughout the match, goalkeeper Mike Maignan had to face many dangerous situations, making "Les Bleus" fans restless.

Didier Deschamps failed to test the defense

Anyway, this is just a friendly match, maybe coach Didier Deschamps is just trying to find the best solution to ensure certainty for his team. There is still the confrontation with Belgium in 3 days for the French strategist to consider his options.
