France has had a flawless run so far in these football events at the Olympic Games. After beating the USA 3-0 in their opening game, the Bleuets won again on Saturday night, 1-0 against Guinea. It was Kiliann Sildillia, who is also being followed by Olympique de Marseille for this transfer window, who scored the winning goal, on a good pass from Michael Olise.
Two wins, but two games during which Thierry Henry’s men did not necessarily convince everyone. Particularly in terms of content. After the game, the French Olympic coach also had a rant. While he said he was satisfied, he still regretted a lack of lucidity in the final move, which could be costly against tougher opponents.
Henry expects more
“I’m happy with the result but not so much with the content… When you have the chances and you play a low block, if you put them in from the start, it’s another game. But when you miss them, unfortunately, you find yourself in a situation where they start to gain confidence, to play well, to put us in danger but we had some pretty clear chances. From time to time, we forget to cross back, we finish badly.”the legendary former Arsenal striker first said.
“And when I say that, I’m not attacking anyone. It’s just that when you have chances against a low block, if you don’t score early it becomes difficult. We have to kill, otherwise you lose energy. It’s still better to have six points. Michael (Olise) made the difference again. We opted to isolate him on the right at one point and it paid off. He manages to do some pretty extraordinary things with his foot. But, if we want to go all the way, we have to kill in both areas and not let them breathe. When you want to go for a title, you have to learn to kill. (…) Now, we’re going to have to kill. Is that bad? No. But I’m just looking ahead to the other matches.”concluded Titi Henry. The message got through.
