France defeated Austria 1:0, Deschamps really shouldn't have snubbed one person, and directly wasted a big killer

Zero-degree eyes to see the ball

At 3 o'clock in the morning of June 18 in Beijing, the first round of Group D of the group stage of the European Cup staged a high-profile game, and the French team, the favorite for the championship, appeared against the Austrian team, which has a low presence in European football.

originally thought that winning the Austrian team with the French team's paper lineup that was proud of the European team was just a piece of cake, but I never expected that the Gallic rooster was also infected with England's problems, fought hard for more than 90 minutes, and won by only 1 goal, which was awkwardly regarded as a good start to the European Cup.

In the face of Austria with average strength, although the French team has a strong overall advantage, it did not take much advantage on the field, if it were not for the excellent performance of the meritorious veteran Kante and the completion of many key interceptions and tackles, the French team may not be able to retreat. In the end, the French team only relied on Mbappe to create an own goal in the first half, and won Austria 1:0, and won a miserable victory in the eyes of fans.

Looking back on the whole game, the French team was not without opportunities in the frontcourt, but helplessly, after Mbappe was focused on defense, none of the players in the French forward line could step up and play the role of a finisher at critical moments, so it ultimately led to the weakness of the French team's offensive line in the front.

The two worst performers in the French team in this game are probably Dembele and Marcus Thuram. When Mbappe was being taken care of, the two men, as attacking wingers, did not pass a few decent good balls, let alone show the slightest dominance in front of goal. Dembele was substituted in the 71st minute, and it seemed that even Didier Deschamps couldn't stand his performance. However, Marcus Thuram, who performed even worse, Deschamps kept him on the pitch. This is a bit incomprehensible.

In fact, if the team can't open the situation, Deschamps can consider replacing Giroud, the big center forward who is sitting on the bench. Although Giroud is 37 years old, his sword is not old, and his attacking firepower is still the same.

In the past season, he played 47 games for AC Milan, contributing a total of 17 goals and 9 assists, which is still a world-class performance. After replacing Giroud, Deschamps can either use him as a central striker in the front field and drop Mbappe back to the winger position, or he can directly use Giroud as a winger. However, Deschamps seems to have a grudge against Giroud, but he is not used for a long time. In the 90th minute, Didier Deschamps finally remembered that Giroud was still on the bench, but the time was too short for Giroud to show his prowess.

To sum up, the reason why the French team only won a 1:0 victory has a lot to do with Deschamps' snub of veteran Giroud. With such a front-line killing weapon, he actually turned a blind eye, isn't this self-destructive martial arts? If Deschamps keeps using people like this, it may be difficult for the French team to go further in this European Championship.
