An abyss of gates without a goal

While we should not ignore the geopolitical context that led to this match, nor the risk that it could not be played, French team crashed this Thursday against Israel0-0in a performance that the French press considered disgraceful and showed that this team still has many problems in front of goal.

The absence of Kylian Mbappe, called up for the second time in a row, has hurt the world’s second-ranked players. Deschamps decided to hand over the reins to Kolo Mouany, who had barely any minutes at Paris Saint-Germain.and the forward, getting lost in front of the goal, did not take advantage of the opportunity that the coach gave him.

One by one, boatwhose start to the season in Paris was outstanding, and Olisewho finds it difficult to adapt to the French team, They also did not pose a threat to the slender Israeli team.. France struck 24 times against Israel and failed to open the scoring. However, the draw was also due to the excellent performance of rival goalkeeper Peretz, who belongs to Bayern Munich.

Besides Mbappe, The imbalance of Ousmane Dembele was also not taken into account.. France, out of goal, lacked the sharpness in the final meters, leaving Israel largely untouched for 90 minutes. In the second half, Deschamps, despairing due to continuous misses on goal, He brought in Marcus Thuram, Coman and Nkunku, and although the team improved significantly, it was not enough either..

France missed Mbappe in the last October break with six goals in two matches against Israel and Belgium, but that does not mean his speed and talent continue to be valuable to the national team and to Deschamps, who has not found either a formula to replace Griezmann.

The Atlético Madrid player surprisingly announced his retirement from his national team in October, and the truth is that Le Blue As of now, they haven’t found a profile that covers some of their gigantic legacy. Neither Olise, nor Dembele, nor Nkunku knew how to replace him.because he is a unique player and France continues to suffer from opponents who do not give them space, such as Israel this Thursday.

On Sunday in Italy in a match in which France must score at least two goals to claim top spot in the group.Deschamps will have to reinvent himself to ensure that the loss of Kylian Mbappe, on top of that of Griezmann, is not too noticeable. No matter how bad the Real Madrid player may be, the consensus in the neighboring country is that his importance in this team is radical and that he must return as soon as possible and wear the jersey of the team of which he is captain.
