In fact, we had to wait until the 85the minute of play for the dominant Tricolores to finally find the fault. It was Randal Kolo Muani, who came on in the 62nd minutee
minute, which delivered the Blues from a shot blocked by Vertonghen, who deceived his goalkeeper.
Deschamps: “They come home, it’s good habits”
At the final whistle, Didier Deschamps did not hide his joy. “It’s beautiful. We played a great game, it was tight. We had a lot more possession and chances. Kolo, it’s Kolo! It’s beautiful! We had a lot of situations that we didn’t all put on target. We did a lot of good things. We have to savor it, not trivialize it.”declared the French coach on TF1.
And he concluded his speech with a little dig at the Red Devils: “ We are in the quarter-finals, they (the Belgians) are going home, these are good habits.” Yes, as at the 2018 World Cup and the 2021 Nations League, the French team sent their Belgian neighbours home.
