However, the new season got off to a good start for the 2005 generation, crowned European U17 champions last spring and now the backbone of the U18 national team, placed under the orders of Bernard Diomède. Winner of Estonia (3-0), then Scotland (5-1), the France U18 team completely lost control in their third and last game against Poland, counting for the 15th edition of the International Foot Avenir Tournament of Limoges Lafarge.
At the Beaublanc stadium, French and Poles were tied (2-2) at the break, after the Polish opener, and the quick reaction of Mokrane Bentoumi (Le Havre) and Ilyes Housni (PSG). But in the second act, the Blueberries have completely cracked. The striker, Housni, was the first excluded (55th), imitated by Rennais Jeanuel Belocian (61st). 20 minutes from time, Yoni Gomis (Le Havre) was the third player expelled, before Darnell Bile (Saint-Etienne) also joined the locker room before the end of regulation time. Les Bleuets being at seven against eleven, the referee whistled the end of the game.
