In a fierce matchup between France and Belgium, the French team won by a difficult one-goal victory. However, it was not an effort from their own efforts, but an own goal from their opponents. For France, such a performance would have allowed them to qualify, but it was an ironic result.
Looking back at this game, Belgium did have holes in their defence. Although their performances have been quite good, their midfield quality is still mediocre. In the face of France's strong attack, Belgium finally allowed their opponents to complete 19 shots on goal, but only conceded an own goal. It also exposes one of France's current problems: the lack of an efficient striker. Even with a player of Giroud's calibre, France still look struggling in attack. But Olivier Giroud is now a substitute.
Didier Deschamps' France side seem to be more focused on solid defence before looking for attacking opportunities. This means that it may be difficult for us to see a good attacking performance from France in the next knockout rounds. But how far can the French team go? After all, their current offensive and defensive performances are lethargic.
For France, they will need to make adjustments in attack if they want to get better results in the next games. First, they need to find an efficient high striker to compensate for Giroud's shortcomings. The player should possess excellent heading ability and shooting skills to be able to score crucial goals for France in key moments. But Muani is not trusted?
In addition, France will need to strengthen their passing and playmaking skills in midfield. They need to find a player who can control the pace of the game and create chances. The player should have excellent technique and vision, be able to pass the ball accurately to the striker and create more scoring opportunities for his teammates. This positional player, this game is obviously not there.
Finally, France will also need to be consistent on the defensive end. While they have shown a relatively solid defence, there are still some holes. They need to strengthen the coordination and chemistry between defenders to ensure that they can form an effective defence when the opposition is attacking, and reduce the likelihood of mistakes and conceding goals. Upamecano, unstable.
All in all, France won in a fierce matchup, but the goal did not come from them. If they want to do better in the upcoming games, they will need to make adjustments in attack and strengthen their playmaking and defensive consistency in midfield. Let's wait and see! This team and England are playing an interesting game, a game that people can't understand, and if England and France face off in the final, the game will be interesting.
