Why is the French team so weak in the World Cup?

France may be regarded as the saddest team in this World Cup, and China played an inexplicable friendly match, but the fans have no confidence, the players have no confidence, the head coach Domenech and the core Ribery have caused a lot of controversy, the World Cup has not started before the news of the change of coach, and it is difficult for the whole team to think about it. In the first round, Uruguay drew with more and less, which made many people begin to doubt the strength of France, but seeing Uruguay beat South Africa 3:0 in the second round, they began to have a glimmer of hope for the French team, but today's game completely destroyed this last glimmer of hope, 0:

2 defeated Mexico, the Gallic Roosters, who were once proud of the world, have now indeed become a pseudo-powerhouse. If the first round against Uruguay was just a poor offensive line, then today's game is that both offense and defense are paralyzed, take a look at the defensive statistics of France and Mexico in this game.

France Action Mexico.

17 tackles 28

8 Intercept 15

20 Clearance 23

142 Predictive interception 167

22 fouls 23

At a glance, France's defensive data is far behind Mexico, and each item is still a lot worse, tackles, interception of Mexico is almost twice as much as France, clearance Mexico is 3 times more than France, 25 more interceptions, although the defensive data is not much, but the most critical problem is that Mexico's defensive ability is definitely not excellent, but it is a weakness, the warm-up game lost 1:2 to the Netherlands, Afelai alone almost tore apart Mexico's entire defense line, and the opening game drew 1:1 with South Africa, which was of average strength. Shabalala breached Mexico's goal with a single breakaway, and the fact that France's defence was not as good as Mexico in this game is enough to show how bad France's defense is right now.

What was the problem with France's defence in today's game? In terms of the team's center-back combination, Galla is not a solid defensive center-back, he prefers assists and headers to defense, and Abidal was born as a full-back, and he was good at attacking and defending back at the time, but when he got old, Domenech gave him a more important mission, and it was indeed a bold gamble to play as a central defender.

<> I don't agree with your assessment of the French team, which is the World Cup winner. It has won two World Cups in its history and reached the semi-finals of Euro 2021. In the 2018 World Cup, the French team performed well and eventually won the championship, which showed that it is very strong and competitive.

The strength of the players is weak, and they have not yet come out of the Zidane era, relying too much on individual skills, and there is no order.

Playing their own games, there is a lack of team spirit, and there is discord between the players and the manager.

Many reasons.

The replacement of the old and the new is not good, and there are no good players who control the whole game.

There are too many old people, and the coach is not good, and it is normal to be weak.

There has been infighting, players in the domestic league and foreign leagues have fallen out, and Anelka has been cut.

Because I warmed up with the Chinese team! Self-confidence has been hit hard!

There is infighting in the team.

And the manager has no authority anymore.

After confirming the World Cup, he left.

So no one listened to him.

How can a stupid coach and a bunch of older and disunited guys get good grades!

Zidane is not there, Henry is not there, France and even China are lost!

Maybe the team's tactics are wrong.

France did not dare to go to Africa to go berserk.

Zidane, Zizou is the soul of the French team.

At Euro 2016, France defeated Germany 2-0 to reach the final, but lost 1-0 to Portugal and finished second. French striker Antoine Griezmann won the European Championship Player of the Year and Top Scorer.

In 1984, the French team led by Platini won the European Championship, and Platini's nine goals in five games are still the highest single goals in the European Championships.

With Deschamps as the captain, Zidan, Henry, Petit, Desailly, Blanco, Thuram, etc. as the backbone, plus Trezegate, Pires and other newcomers, the first generation has won the 1998 World Cup and the 2000 European Championship Confederations Cup.

In the fifties of the twentieth century, it was already one of the strongest teams in the world. In the 1958 World Cup, he finished third under the leadership of Fontaine, Piantoni and Raymond Goppa, with goalscorer Fontaine scoring 13 goals in the tournament.

The World Cup initiated by the Frenchman Remet, so it was first called the Remet Cup, and in 1958, the French team won the third place in the World Cup with Fontaine, and then the French team disappeared. In the '82 World Cup, with an iron triangle composed of Platini and others, they won the fourth place in the World Cup, and four years later in the World Cup in Mexico, France lost to West Germany again and failed to reach the final, they defeated the European Red Devils Belgium 2-0 to win the third place, and in '90 and '94, they failed to qualify for two World Cups, and won the championship on home soil in '98.

There is no need to talk about it later.

Last year's qualification for the World Cup was worrying, but since then, the warm-up matches before the World Cup have been getting better and better, and the team has run in well and the form is also strong, and the overall situation is comparable to that of France ten years ago.

France's results fell sharply after finishing as runners-up in the World Cup, and they were defeated in the first round of the 2008 European Football Championship by the Netherlands and Italy, finishing at the end of the group with one and two defeats.

The French national football team aside, anyway, the single-session goal record of the World Cup and the European Championship was set by the French!

France beat defending champions Brazil 1-0 in the quarter-finals after underplaying the 2006 World Cup, before beating Portugal in the semi-finals to reach the final before being beaten by Italy on penalties in the final to finish as runners-up.

As of 2017, the official French national team has won 827 games, won 403, drew 173 and lost 251, with an aggregate score of 1460-1168 and a net win of 292, ranking among the top in Europe.

It is the earliest country in the European continent to carry out football, and participated in the creation of the World Cup, the European Nations Cup and other events, and began to rise in the 1950s, in the 1958 World Cup, the French team led by the ace scorer Fontaine won the third place in the World Cup, Fontaine created a 6 games of 13 goals in the World Cup single goal shocking record, so far no one can break.

A united, neat and free French team that has not been in civil strife has finally shown its true strength after eight years of staggering. When Ribery couldn't play before the start of the game, he was sure that this was not a bad thing for the French team, and the French team with a few thorns in the sky was worth looking forward to!
