France ended its World Championship in Finland and Latvia with a new defeat on Tuesday against Germany. Never on the pace, Alexandre Texier’s teammates lost heavily (5-0). After their success against Austria (2-1 ap) in the first match, the Tricolores have therefore chained by 6 defeats including the last three having conceded 18 goals without having scored a single one…
The points gleaned during the setbacks after extra time against Denmark (4-3) and Hungary (3-2) allow the Blues to finish in 6th place in group A and to remain within the world elite for a small unit . Even if the objective is achieved, we expected a little better from the French.
“We tried but it’s complicated. The Germans have a lot of quality and our key players are starting to get tired, coach Philippe Bozon said after the game against Germany. When you have several important players injured, you imagine a complicated tournament so I’m happy with the maintenance. We have young players who have shown great things. Others will progress in future years. The Blues will therefore be in the Czech Republic next year to defend their place at the highest level in the world.
