A real football team
The Blues left us angry on Friday against Italy (1-3), faced with too much complacency, little effort and an attitude that is not appropriate for a team that claims to be focused on meetings. On Monday evening, despite eight changes in the lineup, the French team showed a different face. Aggressive, diligent, generous and authentic, if not attractive, he used skill to get Belgium (2-0) to find a smile again and remove some of the pressure if it was a new setback. Yes, the Red Devils are weak, but that’s always easier said than done. And Italy was nothing like the thunder of war in the Parc des Princes, but it left its journey to Paris victorious. The mission is over and we will have to revisit this state of mind in October against Israel and again the Red Devils.

Manu Koné, they are surprisingly good
His start to the match was a nightmare. In the second, he lost a dangerous ball on the edge of his area, then received a yellow card 120 seconds later. The rest of the match may have descended into obscurity. Nothing at all. AS Roma’s midfield, the Olympic silver medalist, finally had confidence and depth throughout the game. By showing the volume of his game, his aggression, his ability to break lines with the ball and with a deep desire to slow down his direct opponents. A really good match for your first start and your second choice. The creation that makes you want to see it again.
THE WISDOM
Marcus Thuram, when will he press?
Olivier Giroud has left the world stage, Kylian Mbappé has not had such a problem in his blue history but Marcus Thuram did not benefit from him this evening in Lyon. According to the left side of the attack, Lilian’s son did not contribute anything. At least for a boy who started at Inter Milan – in another position – and who aims to become the first striker for the French team. With 26 caps and two goals to his credit, it wasn’t enough. You are still waiting for your reference match. France too.

Whistles towards Didier Deschamps
Before the match, the ceremony is that the producer, during a Blues home match, warms up the audience during the combination of the teams. On Monday evening, in a brilliant situation, some players were whistled as Bradley Barcola (ex-OL), Kylian Mbappé (ex-PSG), Mattéo Guendouzi (Ex-OM), but attention fell on Didier Deschamps. For the first time since he arrived at the head of the Blues, the coach was booed by the crowd at the Groupama Stadium. For a boring euro? For an angry conversation? For a long life of… too long? Everyone thinks what they want, but giving the boss of the Blues, the semi-final last summer for the fourth time in the last five competitions (2024, 2022, 2018, 2016), seems to have no place.
The few stand
Thirty minutes before the start between France and Belgium, we are many regular followers of the Blues looking at each other and wondering about the low attendance. Empty stands, an almost empty upper floor, closed boxes… An unimaginable sight for Didier Deschamps’ version of the French team match. It was a bit better at the start, but it was far from filling the 59,000 seats at Groupama Stadium. Besides, usually, there are people in the half-time of the matches, for Monday evening, we are still waiting… Chance, simply, it is up to you to judge. How to explain it?
Because the France team is boring to watch during the Euros. Because the defeat against Italy (1-3) on Friday did not help anything. Because Kylian Mbappé’s Lunar press conference. Because the appointment is scheduled for Monday evening, families are not encouraged to travel during this time of return to school. But this also shows the efforts that the Blues must make. Having a full stadium for each game is never easy. They must make people want to come and see them. To meditate.
