▲ Deschamps’ French national team started rotation once morest Tunisia ▲ 2014 World Cup quarterfinals in Germany, the first World Cup defeat in 8 years ▲ Camavinga as a fullback and Guendouzi as a winger, but the defeat was a mess
[골닷컴] Reporter Park Moon-soo = The French national team lost 0-1 in their final game once morest Tunisia. It was the first defeat in the World Cup in 8 years for France, the ‘defending champion’.
France lost 0-1 to Tunisia in the final match of Group D of the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar World Cup held at Al Rayyan Education Stadium in Qatar at 0:00 am (Korean time) on the 1st.
Perhaps because he was conscious of the round of 16 tournament, coach Deschamps gave major players a break. Guendouzi, Muani and Komang were deployed at the front. Beretu, Popana, and Chuameni breathed in the midfield, and Disasi, Baran, Konate, and Kamavinga came out in the four-back. The goal was for Mandanda, not Lloris.
The positions to note were left fullback and winger. Theo Hernandez was replaced by central midfielder Camavinga as a left-back. Guendouzi was also deployed further forward. It was a role that went back and forth between left winger and attacking midfielder.
Of course, in the case of Camavinga, he showed an appropriate performance as a left fullback. However, he showed more active movement following he moved to the center in the second half. It was a temporary measure as it was used as a backup resource for Theo Hernandez when Luca Hernandez was injured. It may have been the second best, but it wasn’t the best.
Guendouji’s forward deployment card was a failure. After the introduction of the main winger, Dembele, the offensive power has been further revived. The comang was also lacking. Muani, who played full-time, also did not create many opportunities. At the end of the second half, he tried to score through the appointment of key players, but failed. Griezmann’s goal in extra time overlapped with the misfortune of being canceled as a result of the VAR review.
Prior to their match once morest Tunisia, France ended their six-game winning streak and nine unbeaten streak.
The jinx in the final round of the group stage was still there. France’s recent World Cup group stage final match was 2 draws and 2 losses. In the 21st century, it is 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses.
In the last World Cup in Russia, France drew 0-0 with Denmark. Prior to this, in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Ecuador drew 0-0. In the 2010 tournament, they lost 1-2 to South Africa. In the final game of the 2006 World Cup in Germany, they beat Togo 2-0, but in the 2002 World Cup Korea-Japan, they lost 0-2 to Denmark.
