After a timid start in March, Christopher Nkunku returned to the France team at the end of May, with the eye of the tiger, firmly determined to prove his worth in the wake of the irremovable trio composed of Antoine Griezmann, Karim Benzema and Kylian Mbappe. And, so far, it’s promising. Decisive passer of a subtle backheel for “KB9” against Denmark (1-2), the Leipzig striker was combative and altruistic for his second tenure in Blue, Monday evening, in Croatia (1-1). He even thought he scored his first goal with a nice stung ball, but his achievement was denied to him for a logical offside.
