In a heavy and sometimes gloomy context, the French team would please its supporters by winning in style in Belgium on Monday evening in the Nations League.
Would it be too much to ask to attend a great football match on Monday in Brussels? Between the Euro failure in terms of play this summer, less on the result side with a semi-final lost against Spain (the 4th out of the last 5 international competitions), an average return to September (defeat against Italy, victory against Belgium) and a logical success against a weak Israel (1-4) last Thursday in the very sad atmosphere of Budapest, the supporters of the Blues are missing. Of sensations, emotions and spectacle. Which ultimately makes this sport so special. What we love him for.
Be careful, no one is asking the impossible from this French team deprived of its stars (Kylian Mbappé who is recharging his batteries in Sweden, Antoine Griezmann retired, to a lesser extent N’Golo Kanté injured and Adrien Rabiot spared) and who are fighting so well what a problem with overpowering clubs, but already, an attractive copy would be good for morale.

After the Olympics which set an entire country on fire, with normal athletes giving their hearts out with or without a medal, the world of football has still not understood the importance of giving a little of oneself to warm hearts. And failing that, if there is not that (today, it is more difficult to have an interview with a player from the France team than any politician or leading actor), at less of a spectacle on the field. Which is not the case since a lease in selection.
Result, against Israel on Monday evening (a second-rate poster we grant you), only 3.98 million viewers followed the adventures of Aurélien Tchouaméni’s partners in front of their station. The worst score since 2019. French fans started listening to Didier Deschamps who said this summer that people could change the channel if the content of the matches was not to their liking. Anecdotal or the beginning of a loss of love? Time will tell.

In the light of a new era, with a selection without any experienced player after the departures of Lloris, Varane, Giroud or even Griezmann, and devoid of a global star with the absence of Mbappé, the French ranks are looking gloomy. In this group of 23, only two members (Areola and Dembélé) won the World Cup and this famous 2nd star. Two out of twenty-three. The renewal is total. Taking a step back must also be based on the status of each other. This goes for the players and those around them.
To date, this entire troop, who will try to follow in the footsteps of their elders and to whom we wish success, has no weight in the history of the French team. Everyone must be aware of this. And to prevent Blues supporters from sulking any longer, dominating a deprived Belgium (De Bruyne, Lukaku absent), by putting on a show would not be a bad idea. This would allow us to return to the daily life of the clubs in a lighter manner. And if there is still interest, the viewer could turn off their television with a smile. Looking forward to meeting the French team in November. Chick?
