France vs Mexico
Forced to share during the first day of World Cup FIFA, France and Mexico were not such a bad deal considering the pressure weighing on their shoulders. However, they are now obliged to win to get closer to qualification for the knockout and eliminate a direct opponent. But in Polokwane, the two selections will also produce the game to reassure their supporters. This game will be crucial for our Blue whatever the outcome of his first game against Uruguay. It takes on average four points to qualify, but France must absolutely get first place in the group to avoid Argentina in the 8th. Mexico has a point. This match could allow either team to put one foot in the next round.
There is nothing to think of this game. Everything has been seen. The shortcomings of team play. The fault of the coach is not able to motivate his team. Largesse defensive side.
On the bench:
Raymond Domenech gives an impression of weakness. When he is on the bench was not the impression of having to do with a leader of men. Fernandez Maradona or their excesses, but with them it's something.
In defense
In one of my first reviews, I stressed the fact that the defenders had to defend 80% of the time and attack the remaining 20%. Here, Evra and Sagna were defending and attacking 40% to 60%. A fullback should intervene only in support of his wingman, not replace him. The Mexican coach was clearly seen: he played with 4 offensive, he played on our weaknesses. The backs are assembled in Mexican support of their attackers, and the Mexican defense was still 4 behind when they attacked. We did not obtain a single clear chance.
In this configuration, how to blame our central defenders, who are often found outnumbered attacks on the cons?
In the midst
The problem of midfield, is that they could not find anyone before. Otherwise, this is the game area where the two satisfactions of the evening: Malouda and Toulalan, who is still a correct match. As if Ribery ... Franck has been contrary to his game apart 3 or 4 shares. Frank is not a player last pass, distribution. Why have tried this tactical change on such an important game? It is much more useful on one side than the axis.
Forwards
The coach's job is to find out a player of the team when necessary. I do not understand why Henry stayed on the bench. He still scored fifty goals for France. Everyone spoke of Gignac, but he has not yet proved that he had the middle. Just because he scores a goal against the Faroe he will win for France. It is a very good player, but he has yet to prove itself.
The replacements have brought nothing
Although it was not clear. When there is a loss of identity in a team can bring a replacement for redress. But when the team has no identity, that can make the replacements? We can bring any player, he would not have changed. Valbuena, for example, can be good if the team is good!
Team play
Mexicans have a technical background impressive. The French play one plus one plus one. The Mexicans are playing with each other. They are less complicated task than the French ... It was an illusion against Uruguay mainly because we had been more cautious defense. Against Mexico, when we took the second goal, many players have dropped the match.
The set pieces ... What a mess!
Knowing their importance at this level of competition ... Draw kicks, it does not just happen (Malouda, Anelka and Ribery have tried to exercise with an equal lack of success, ed.) It is not the boss of a team if we pull-kicks. It does not hide its shortcomings the moment, especially when it is striker, taking free kicks ... Such improvisation is disastrous.
And now?
We should not kid ourselves, it is eliminated. Whatever happens. Uruguay and Mexico will find the agreements to qualify. Ultimately, if we qualify, it is better we play Argentina: at least there will be an outsider and not be expected much from us.
I do not see France score 4 or 5 goals in South Africa, I do not see either team in a strong position press the other. I am obliged to be realistic. Although in 2006 we went in the final of the World Cup, we remain on two major failures in major competitions. We too lived on our world champion in 1998. There is a renewal which must be implemented.
