Bosnia-France (0-1): the ratings of French players

2021-03-31T21:34:26.491Z


Didier Deschamps aligned this Wednesday a team resolutely turned towards the attack, with four players with an offensive vocation. In this provision


While Didier Deschamps had decided to leave Ousmane Dembélé and Olivier Giroud on the bench for this trip to Bosnia, the Blues have long lacked energy and imagination.

But fortunately, its captain was watching and France ended up winning 1-0.

Lloris: 8.

The great man of the first half.

The goalkeeper with 123 selections released an extraordinary save on a close-range header from Ahmedhodzic and a welcome save on a tense shot from Todorovic.

It allows the Blues not to be led at half-time.

Pavard: 5.

He recovered after the break with a more substantial offensive contribution.

But he did not deliver a great first period, his rare centers being often countered by defenders.

He was not in his best day and has combined little with his partner at Bayern, Coman.

Varane: 5.

Very surprising to see such a technically skilled player lose so many easy balls.

Has the Madrilenian been the victim of a slack?

He was a little better after the break, but we have already seen him safer and sharper.

Kimpembe: 6.

Over the whole match, the Parisian has little to be ashamed of.

He fought with Dzeko, isolated in point and often took the advantage.

Strong at the post.

Hernandez: 4.

The Munich player was disappointing.

He made mistakes in his transmissions, and never really took advantage of the lane left by Lemar in the first period.

Far from its best level.

Coman: 5.

The only striker to spark a few sparks in front of goal.

Too bad he crushes his shot and does not support his head enough in the first period.

But it can and must do even better.

Replaced by Giroud (59th).

Pogba: 5.

After a sluggish start, the Mancunien put a little more aggressiveness.

What allowed him to recover some balloons and to operate a rescue in the surface.

It was more in the use of forward balls that he was less efficient.

He gradually disappeared in the second half, certainly for lack of condition.

Rabiot: 4.

The Turinese missed a large part of his match.

Often at the wrong time, it was very imprecise and did not add anything.

He drops the marking on Ahmedhodzic's head.

Fortunately for him and for France, he delivers the center that allows Griezmann to open the scoring.

One of his all too rare flashes.

Lemar: 4.

Aligned in the left lane, before switching to the right after the break, the former Monegasque has dezoned a lot for not much.

As against Kazakhstan, its contribution was fairly neutral.

As proof, he has rarely been in a position to shoot or address good balls.

Insufficient.

Replaced by Sissoko (90th).

Griezmann: 6.

With his 35th goal, he justifies the unfailing confidence given to him by Didier Deschamps.

He tried to order the offensive play of the Blues but without finding the key.

He ran a lot, and his defensive involvement is not to be called into question.

But he combined little with Mbappé, or even with the lane players.

Mbappé: 4.5.

We expected a start after his failed match against Ukraine, he did not come.

He started the game well with an elimination and a good cross.

Aligned in a point, it then disappeared, stuck in the net of the Bosnian three-way defense.

After the entry of Giroud, he swung to the left where he found landmarks and a little field, but without much more success at the end.
