Rare satisfaction in the French camp, Bradley Barcola was nevertheless among the first to leave. Enough to earn Didier Deschamps severe criticism.
The French team did not shine on Tuesday against Poland, having to settle for a draw (1-1) which deprives it of first place in group D. The Blues nonetheless had numerous chances for an hour before losing their footing in the last half hour, a penalty converted by Robert Lewandowski responding to Kylian Mbappé’s opening score, also from the penalty spot, in the 55th minute.
Reasons for satisfaction are therefore rare, particularly at the front where the French competed in clumsiness. For his first start in blue, Bradley Barcola nevertheless escapes criticism. The Parisian striker was indeed a real poison for the Polish defense, increasing the accelerations on his right side.
The supporters’ incomprehension
And if he also came up against Łukasz Skorupski after a superb ride, he offered several goal balls to his teammates, first and foremost Kylian Mbappé. Didier Deschamps also liked what he saw. “Taking into account the fact that this is his first start (in the selection, editor’s note), in a high-stakes match against a high-level opponent, he did some very interesting things, in his style of play, in percussion, sequences. He’s a young player, but if he’s there, it’s thanks to these qualities.” he confided about him after the meeting
Despite this good point given to his young player, the French coach did not hesitate to take him out on the hour mark, with N’Golo Kanté and Adrien Rabiot, Antoine Griezmann, Olivier Giroud and Eduardo Camavina making their debut. An exit that the French supporters did not understand. This is evidenced by the numerous messages, sometimes virulent, posted on social networks.
