It is a successful entry into the competition for the Blues. Quickly led from the 9th minute of play, Olivier Giroud’s teammates finally won 4-1 against Australia. “Individually, Australia was made up of fairly weak players, notes Bertrand Volpilhac, head of the Parisian sports department. But collectively it wasn’t that bad. The French team put themselves in a difficult situation, but what is interesting is that they managed to get out of it quite quickly”.
The shadow on the board of this victory remains the injury of Lucas Hernandez, injured in the cruciate ligaments of the right knee. “Lucas Hernandez’s injury is a psychological blow, but also on the pitch. Because now there is only one professional left side in the group, explains Bertrand Volpilhac. Now this injury can have a mobilizing effect in the group. Even if there were several with Benzema, Nkunku, Kimpembe, Kanté and Pogba”.
