A lot of big teams will play in the upcoming World Cup in Qatar, but whoever might come as the big favorite also due to the fact that it is the reigning world champion is the French team. The tricolor held a warm-up game against South Africa last night (Wednesday) and crushed them 0: 5 with a performance by Killian Ambape, who scored twice and also cooked for Griezmann. With his duo, Ambape has raised his international goal balance to 26 and already at his young age (23) he is only 15 goals away from the all-time French goal king, the legendary Thierry Henry, who has scored 51 goals for the national team.
By the way, by the age of 23 Henry had only eight goals so Ambape should definitely and should be the new record in the near future. Ambape referred to this and said in an interview after the game: “Obviously that is one of my goals, I always wanted to be first in everything. Whether it is with France or whether it is with my team.”
“There’s still a long way to go,” Killian added, “no one did what Titi (Henry) did. I think I can reach his peak faster than people think.” France will resume its activities in June with the League of Nations games, where it will face much stronger teams such as Denmark, Austria and Croatia, which the French won in the previous World Cup final.
