It will not go down in history as a football match to remember. Not because of the experience on the green, where France and Israel This Thursday they offered over an hour and a half without a goal (0-0) and were very far from being an entertaining spectacle. In a Stade de France semi-empty as a result of people’s fear of getting involved in conflicts as a result of a conflict that has little or nothing to do with football, the Didier Deschampsincluding Kylian Mbappé conspicuous in their absence, they were superior to Israel and took the initiative at all times. But always far from presenting the ‘punch’ that the forward has (or used to have until recently) real Madrid and with the rival goalkeeper, Daniel Peretzwhich emphasizes his figure by placing the star up to 8 stops of merit to that Israel went home with points in the bag.
Didier Deschamps who miraculously remained in the position of coach after years in which France not really play even though he managed to win one World Cup and be a finalist in another, he chose the eleven where the engine room was for Kante, Camavinga and Zaire-Emery while the attack was left for Olise, boat and Chief Muani. Those from the back mattered little, as Israel let themselves loose in the offensive field between little and nothing. But be that as it may, enough is said and left France managed to accumulate 70% of the possession and took a total of 24 shots.
The best scoring opportunities are from Zaire-Emery, Conaté, Marcus Thuram and Nkunkubut they ran over one after the other Perez. The blow suffered by the aforementioned is especially painful Nkunkubecause his attempt came in extra time and sometimes leads one to think that the French dominance will be rewarded. As for Israelalthough he limited himself defensively, and did so very well, he also had a chance, incl Raz Shlomo as the hero, which did not go far to lead to a 0-1 increase on the scoreboard.
In conclusion, it was a match where football was really in the background and the whims of the football gods wanted the goal, the highest expression of this great celebration, not to make an appearance.
At the point achieved, France confirmed its classification for this Nations League qualifiers, although to access the quarterfinals as first (and to have in said round the privilege of playing the second leg at home) and not as second, it needs to beat Italy in Milan next Sunday by more than two goal differences.
