Returning to the field, did Randal Kolo Muani think about his last game, about this shot after extra time released by Emiliano Martinez, which left him at the gates of glory?
The striker had plenty of time to ruminate over the missed opportunity as his club Eintracht Frankfurt haven't had an official match to play in over a month.
The resumption of the Bundesliga will allow him, in any case footballingly, to think of something else: the young Frenchman was aligned as a starter against Schalke 04, this Saturday afternoon.
Since his heroic entry in the World Cup final between France and Argentina on December 18, Kolo Muani has changed status.
In Germany, his performance did not escape anyone and certainly not his trainer, Oliver Glasner, who was very complimentary of him at a press conference.
“We wrote to him after the final to tell him that he must be very proud of his year,” he explained in particular to the Bundesliga site.

He reached the knockout stages of the Champions League with us and became a World Cup finalist with France.
It's not really feasible to do much more in a calendar year.
“Glasner would do well to take advantage of it while he is there: the striker is already at the heart of several transfer rumors and would interest big European clubs.
