Soccer World Cup: France’s Weaknesses Could Benefit Argentina In Final
A good forward, a record-breaking coach and a generation that is going to play a second consecutive World Cup final.
If the French team is introduced in these words before the final of the Football World Cup against Argentina, any opponent will definitely be afraid of such a team.
France qualified for the final after defeating Morocco 2-0 in the semi-finals on Wednesday. Theo Hernandez and Randall Kolo scored in this match.
It should be noted that before the start of the Football World Cup, three teams were declared favorites, including defending champions France, Argentina and Brazil.
Two of them will face each other in the final and one of them will win the FIFA World Cup.
It should be remembered that in the 2018 Football World Cup held in Russia, France and Argentina also competed in which France won four to three.
The report examines three reasons why France are a dangerous team, as well as two weaknesses that Argentina can exploit.
The three best scorers of the World Cup Kylian Mbappe has scored five goals in this World Cup and is currently the top scorer along with Argentina’s Lionel Messi. Apart from them, France’s Olivier Giroud has scored four goals while Antoine Griezmann has scored three goals during the tournament.
Stopping such a forward line will be a big challenge for Argentina and these players will play the most important role for France in the final.
A record-setting coach, France coach Deschamps led his team to victory in the 2018 World Cup four years ago and has once again led the team to the finals.
Since the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, out of the 18 World Cup matches he has coached, France have won 14 matches and lost only two, drawing two.
After their semi-final win over Morocco, they have equaled Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari’s tally and are now two more away from equaling former Germany coach Helmut Schön’s record of 16 World Cup victories. are required
A breeder France’s squad is largely made up of players who won the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, defender Raphael Varane and forwards Kylian Mbaye, Olivier Giroud and Antoine Griezmann were part of France’s World Cup-winning team that defeated Croatia in Moscow.
This is a breed that has the experience of playing and winning World Cup finals and such experience always comes in handy in big tournaments.
On the other hand, Messi and Di Maria are the only two players left in the Argentina team who played in the final against Germany in the 2018 World Cup held in Brazil.
France also holds the distinction of being the second team to reach two consecutive World Cup finals after Brazil in 1994 and 1998.
France’s Weaknesses It is difficult to pinpoint weaknesses in this French team. However, if you look at the statistics, it will be clear that this team has a problem.
In the six matches played in the World Cup, every team except Morocco scored a goal against the French team. Australia, Denmark, Tunisia, Poland and England. All these teams were able to beat goalkeeper Loris.
On the other hand, Argentina did not concede a single goal against them in three matches. Mexico, Poland and Croatia failed to score against Argentina.
This could prove to be a crucial point in the final.
Another major weakness is a somewhat inexperienced midfield.
France’s victory in 2018 was largely due to a strong midfield featuring internationals Paul Pogba, Kante and Blaise.
France’s midfield is not as experienced this time around.
Arelian Tchomini and Eduardo Kamavinga are considered to be the mainstays of Real Madrid, while Youssef Fofana and Griezmann have also played well so far.
However, this midfield is not as strong as 2018.
It is a weakness that Argentina can exploit if they are to prevent France from lifting another World Cup.
