The French team qualified for the quarter-finals after beating Belgium thanks to an own goal. Deschamps’ team continues to struggle in this Euro 2019 in search of goals. France have only scored one own goal so far in the competition, Mbappé scoring the penalty against Poland. The remaining goals for Les Bleus have all been own goals.
And although Deschamps’ team is struggling in attack, some other players are standing out and playing their part in the squad. This is the case of defender William Saliba, who had a great game against Belgium.
Saliba had a 97% successful pass rate and 100% of completed dribbles. Added to these statistics are two interceptions, four duels won and the same number of opportunities to attack, as well as three successful long passes in three attempts.
The central defender is a pillar of this team that has only conceded one goal, the result of a penalty against Poland converted by Robert Lewandowski. Although the French have been lacking in the arsenal, having such powerful weapons as Kylian Mbappé and Griezmann who simply cannot find the goal.
