France He is already in the quarters without giving up his resistance manual. It must already be the only team in the history of football to reach the quarterfinals of the Euro Cup without scoring a single goal in play. Vertonghen This time he scored his own goal, confirming the historical falalism of this team against its French neighbor. There is the route of those of Deschamps: another own goal Austria, one of Mbappé’s penalties against Poland plus this afternoon. 19 shots on goal by Deschamps’ men against Belgium and only one on target.
It will always have to be said, as I know, that if France does not improve its aim it cannot go very far. Although you can see the bottle in another way: if playing like this you are already in the quarterfinals, you will have to see where you can go if you sharpen your aim. The feeling is that either he puts it Mbappé, that he had several, or no one plugs it in. Belgium, For his part, he played not to lose and had some opportunities to break his spell with Les Bleus, but it is a reality that is no longer what it was.
A tragic fate awaited Belgium, as always happens with France. He died on the shore, as his neighbor almost always does. Because the black legend of the Belgians against Les Bleus is confirmed since they have always fallen in all the major competitions. In the 1938 World Cup, in the 1984 Euro Cup, in the 1986 World Cup, in the 2018 World Cup and in this edition European, without forgetting the Nations League, in the semifinals, in 2021.
Rabiot, the first free footballer to play for France
By July 1, it could already be said that Mbappé played against Belgium as a Real Madrid player, but the fact must be pointed out to Rabiot, who became the first footballer in France to play without a team for his national team. It is true that he has ended his contract with Juve and that now he himself is free and that he will have to choose his destiny. Rabiot did not rule out continuing at Juve but we already know that he has a mother who rules a lot and that he will look for the best contract for his son.
What De Bruyne has to suffer
A footballer used to handling the ball until he puts personnel like De Bruyne to sleep, to attacking and attacking, to overwhelming with possession at City, seeing him almost between the centre-backs with his entire block behind him, as was seen in a good part of the game. , moving from one side to the other, it has to be hard. He only approached the area for a Belgian counterattack, but the Red Devils put almost four men up front and De Bruyne as a center back escorted by Onana. In the second half they freed themselves up a little more with the entry of another midfielder, Mangala, for Openda.
Tchouaméni only missed his aim
He arrived surrounded by doubts after recovering from an injury but against Belgium he was the best in France along with another Real Madrid player, Kylian Mbappé, and a Barça player, Koundé. He had the goal, especially in a good play in the first half by his teammate. He stole balls, commanded from his position and gave a recital in long passes as if he were Kroos. It is difficult to replace the German, but this afternoon he saw the closest thing to the former Monaco player. In any case, it is good news for Real Madrid fans to see him like this.
