FRANCE DOES NOT 'TAKE OFF' IN THE EURO CUP
France and the Netherlands 'neutralize' each other and leave everything open for the last day (0-0)
France still hasn't given the 'arguments' that keep it as one of the favourites to win the Euro Cup. Against a Netherlands that was at half speed in the second half, they couldn't get past a draw. The group is completely open for the third and final matchday.
The France of Didier Deschamps always will be one of the favourites in the 'big' tournaments, but for the moment has not convinced in this Eurocopa. If already in front of Austria had left a few doubts and finished suffering, in front of Low Countries has not changed the history. 'Him bleus' have not achieved the formula so that the pieces of the puzzle fit and have not happened of the tie, without goals, to leave the open group of face to the last day.
The crash in front of the Dutch was marked by the drop of Kylian Mbappé, the one who in the debut of the Eurocopa had remained 'KO' after breaking the nose. It was in the bench, with the smart mask in case that it had to dress of superhéroe, but Deschamps left him without action. The logical, taking in account that was in the infirmary four days ago. Yes it recovered the trainer to Aurelién Tchouameni, the one who split in the centre of the field in a double pivote with N'Golo Kanté. It has returned in a good level after being drop from April.
The goalkeepers, the best on the lawn in the first time
The true is that, in front of the absence of Mbappé, Deschamps jointed to Rabiot, Griezmann and Dembélé by behind Thuram and the bet has had his 'peros', especially in a first part in which Theo and Adrien did not understand by the left and suffered more than has it the presence of Frimpong. Had the clearest, this yes, but without being comfortable. Precisely between Rabiot and Griezmann signed a big opportunity, but the still player of the Milan erró in his decision and, instead of finishing he same in 'mouth' of goal, yielded it to him to his mate, but had remained him very backwards.
Antoine went back to appear with a zurdazo from the heart of the area that left 'besando' the crossbar. The Dutch answered with a shot of Gakpo from the edge of the area for the intervention of Maignan. The two teams were 'bothering' constantly and testing, but without being 'fine' in the last pass to hurt . Thuram Tested luck with a shot, without angle, that left diverted.
The VAR 'saved' to France in the resumption
France seemed slightly upper after the resumption and forced to Low Countries to live much more near of the area of Verbruggen and attained, for the first time, do with the reins of the party from the feelings and occasions: Thuram insisted with a shot crossed from the medialuna, Tchouameni cabeceó a centre of Dembélé and Griezmann had his with a finish in semifallo that 'desbarató' Verbruggen. It seemed that it was the moment of the French, but the ones of Koeman were the first in 'nail' the balloon in the deepest of the network.
Xavi Simons annotated, but the main referee, Anthony Taylor, cancelled the so much after the 'warning' of his assistant. Dumfries Split advanced and 'prejudiced' to Maignan to the moment of the finish. The goal did not go up to the marker, after a long review of the VAR, and went back to begin from zero.
