France VS Belgium

From the perspective of the lineup, the French team is full of talents, and the three lines are superstar-studded, led by Mbappe and Dembele, Giroud The offensive end is still full of firepower, and on the defensive line, Saliba, Konat, Kounde, Lucas Hernandez Varane, Pavard, Yu Pamecano, Mainan, Te'o, etc. are from the five major leagues of the first-line giants, the back line is reassuring, and the personal strength of young players such as Tchouameni, Camavinga, Emery and other young players is trustworthy, and the leading midfield is full of aura, in addition to the return of interception master Kante, showed good fighting power, and the overall strength of the team was very strong.

The Belgian team has a world-class squad of stars, with the majority of players coming from Europe's top five leagues, and the Belgian team is also sending talent for the national team. Belgium is led by the "golden generation" such as "veterans" De Bruyne, Vertonghen, Witsel, Lukaku, Carrasco, etc., and has many young talents such as Doku, Opponda, De Baste, Tate, Onana, Fermelen, De Ketelaere, Trossard, etc., and there are defensive iron gates, scheduling masters, and scoring players in front, and the strength is strong enough.

De Bruyne PK Mbappe

Both teams did not perform well in the group stage, did not show the absolute strength and strong fighting power to match their world rankings and high prices, and could only advance to the round of 16 with the second place in their respective groups, which inevitably met prematurely. In addition, both teams were poor enough in attack, with France scoring only one goal from star Kylian Mbappe and Belgium scoring only against Romania, and the striker's ability to hold on to the occasion was seriously lacking.

France VS Belgium

This game is a tough battle for both France and Belgium, they are both strong contenders for the "Delaunay Cup", and both have enough strength to lift the trophy, but there can only be one winner in this game, and both teams must show their best form and go all out. For the French team, Mbappe, who had a broken nose, scored a goal when he came back, showing the strength of a superstar, and Kante was running all over the field, still showing "unpassable hurdles"; Against the Belgian team, De Bruyne sent a total of 11 passes that directly broke through the opponent's defense in three games, showing the absolute strength of the "world's first middle". This game can be described as a gathering of big names, evenly matched, not only testing the defense of both sides, but also testing the ability of the two teams to seize opportunities, but also testing the hard power of the two teams of "superstars". In this game, whoever can score first will gain the initiative to enter the top 8 of the European Cup.
