Last Thursday, at the Stade de France, Didier Deschamps’ selection delivered its worst performance in ages. A particularly gloomy 0-0 against Israel. A hitch that the Blues must erase as quickly as possible.
Who could they rely on to move forward? Vikash Dhorasoo, former French international, has an idea on the question. For him, the man to revive this team can only be Adrien Rabiot. The Duke had been absent during the October rally and against the Israelis he only came into play as a substitute (in the 71ste minute).
“He has a good left foot and can find passing angles using spaces,”
confided Dhorasoo about the neo-Marseillais in an interview with Le Parisien.
For Dhorasoo, “the Blues lack genius”
Even if he has high hopes for Rabiot, the former OL player admits that the French selection is currently suffering from a big creativity deficit. “He’s missing the stroke of genius, that player capable of changing the history of a match with his crazy gestures. When you’re facing such a low block, you have to allow risks, except that in the middle, our players are all a bit similar. Apart from Olise, who can kick the ball, gain speed and dribble. It’s a rare bird and it’s a reminder of how missed birds can be.”.
A point on which everyone will undoubtedly agree. With the international retirement of Griezmann and the unavailability of Mbappé, France is currently cruelly lacking in genius.
