With 4 goalless draws in 2024, the French team is preparing to end a particularly delicate calendar year. The most difficult in the Deschamps era, certainly. And this bad vintage stems from an insufficient offensive performance for the Blues.
Despite strong individuals, the French team was very unattractive in its collective expression. For
Bixente Lizarazuthe lack of collective work weighed down the Blues. “ We need automatisms, collective work, attacking together. You have to find duos, trios, triangle play, and that’s a bit lacking because they are often individual actions“, blurted the 1998 world champion in Téléfoot.
Lizarazu does not forget individualities
If these comments can be perceived as a remark addressed to Didier Deschamps and his technical staff, the TF1 consultant does not forget individualities. “Already, we have lost two great scorers, Olivier Giroud, 57 goals, and Antoine Griezmann, 44 goals. Obviously, Kylian Mbappé is not here at the moment”.
“Then, if we list our attackers, we have attackers who are very good dribblers or passers: Dembélé, Barcola, Olise, Coman. And finally, those who can become good scorers: Kolo Muani, Thuram. Obviously waiting for Kylian to return. They must bring this quality in front of goal”concluded the former defender. A progression which will have to take place in 2025, one year before the World Cup in North America.
