Didier Deschamps’ men were dominated by a clinical and realistic German team (0-2) this Saturday evening in Lyon as part of a friendly match.
False start for the Blues. For its first outing of the year 2024, the French team lost in Lyon against Germany (0-2). A result and a poor performance that are definitely worrying, three months before the Euro.
Blues trapped from the start…
The evening quickly took a bad turn for the French team. After only seven seconds of play, young Wirtz’s sublime strike left Samba with no chance. And surprised a completely apathetic French team during the first quarter of an hour. The Blues, orphaned by Griezmann for the first time in almost seven years, suffered the domination of a diligent and serene Mannschaft. Before finally waking up, under the leadership of Mbappé and Dembélé on the wings. The captain of the Blues, initially watched very closely, gradually gained the upper hand in the left lane, but lacked efficiency in the last gesture in front of Ter Stegen (22nd, 25th). Dembélé, very active on the right, was not more successful (35th).
…then off topic
Authors of an encouraging start during the first act, the Blues fell back into their faults from the restart. In a rather inexplicable way. And once again, Germany knew how to take advantage of it. Musiala had fun at the heart of a too crumbly French defense, before offering caviar to Havertz (0-2, 49th). As in the first period, the Blues missed their start. But this time, Didier Deschamps’ men were unable to react. Dominated technically and physically, Mbappé and his team showed absolutely nothing good during a second act that looked like a shipwreck. The substitutes launched from the hour mark (Camavinga and Giroud in the lead) did not have any real impact. Only Samba was able to stand out, preventing Mittelstadt (80th) then Müller (81st) from adding to an already heavy bill.
Logically beaten, the French team had not shown such a sad face in 2023. “I hope this will be useful for us in the future. We’ll have to get started, the Euro is coming very quickly», observed Lucas Hernandez at the microphone of TF1. In three days, the Blues will try to reassure themselves when they host Chile in Marseille.
