Lately, only the French team has been able to put a smile on Randal Kolo Muani’s face. Very little considered by Luis Enrique at PSG, where he remains determined to gain playing time, the 25-year-old striker scored his last three goals with the Blues, against Belgium in the Nations League, including a double scored at Brussels on the way back. He was also expected against Israel on Thursday evening at the Stade de France, where Didier Deschamps had started him up front.
But the Parisian, credited with a rating of 3/10 in the newspaper
The Teamwas not more inspired than his teammates during this meeting, punctuated by a draw (0-0). Enough to once again revive the debate on its level and its status. Is “RKM” the center forward that the France team needs to succeed Olivier Giroud?

Even (Michael) Olise: only two passes to Kolo Muani…”
Johan Micoud dismayed
And the former international continued: “There is no combination, no connection, there is nothing. I find it mind-blowing. In addition Barcola played 70 minutes and Kolo Muani the whole match. The attackers are the basis for connecting with each other to cause problems for the opponent.
