In the early morning of July 2, Beijing time, in the quarterfinals of the European Cup, the French team defeated the Belgian team 1-0 and advanced to the quarterfinals.
One is second in the world, the other is third in the world, but the focus of the battle is quite dull, the number of shots on goal of the two teams is 19-5, both in terms of the field and the data, the French team has the advantage, but the two teams have 2-2 shots on target, equal.
The only goal of the game came in the 85th minute, when Muani's shot deflected off Vertonghen's body and found the back of the net. This goal was also calculated by UEFA for Vertonghen.
So far, from the group stage to the knockout stage, the French team has scored a total of 3 goals and conceded only 1 goal. It looks like the defense is still quite solid, but the offensive end is really unsatisfactory.
Of those three goals, Mbappe scored one penalty and the other two goals, both from own goals from opponents. As the favorite to win this European Cup, the French team with a luxurious forward line is so constipated in attack, which is really embarrassing.
It is worth noting that in the game against Belgium, Thuram Jr. did not play well and was replaced early, and Baltra, who had started before, and Dembele, who stabilized his starting position, both sat for 90 minutes and did not get a chance.
I don't know what adjustments Deschamps will make in the next quarter-finals.
