Despite the absence of Paul Pogba and N’Golo Kante, who won the last World Cup, France’s surge this time was genuine. There are people in the team to speed up and slow down the game and score goals at the right time. The French style is to buy one goal and give back two.
Like France, England’s young team also has the energy to get in front of the opposition’s penalty box quickly. Nevertheless, although they are good at scoring goals, England’s weakness was evident against Senegal in the preliminary meetings.
Watch STAR
The England coach, Gareth Southgate, is wondering who will tie the bell to Kylian Mbappe, who rushes with the ball on the French left wing. Mbappe is the top scorer with 5 goals. If the focus is entirely on Mbappe, Olivier Giroud and Antoine Griezmann will step up and score goals.
But instead of such defensive thoughts, England can be confident if they think about their own strength. Judd Bellingham, who comes forward with the ball from midfield, will be a big challenge for the French defence. 8 people in the England line-up have been included in the World Cup goal scorers list.
TEAM News
Raheem Sterling, who returned to England after the news of a robbery at home, has returned. However, the chances of getting a place in the first eleven are less. Declan Rice, who missed training on Wednesday due to a physical problem, will play.
Mbappe’s absence from France’s training session on Tuesday was also discussed. But he returned the next day. Aurelien Choumeni and Jules Conte will miss the next game if they see one more yellow card.
STAT attack
The goals scored by Olivier Giroud for France and Harry Kane for England are 52. Giroud is the French team’s top scorer of all time, while Kane is only one goal behind Wayne Rooney among England’s top scorers.
