Nick Woltemade was still decisive, the French attackers harvested and the defense was very brittle. Find the tops and flops after the demonstration of mannschaft efficiency against the Blueberries (3-0) on Wednesday in Slovakia.
TOPS
Nick Woltemade weighed on the defense of the Blueberries
A goal, a few failures but above all efforts to resell. Nick Woltemade weighed very heavy on the shoulders of young tricolor defenders. His pass is at the origin of Weiper’s first goal (8th). He then benefited from a favorable counter to score the second goal of the Mannschaft in the 15th minute of play. Then, the Germans gradually stopped playing, so we saw him less but the French hinge did not drop her with each German counterattack, knowing his qualities too well. Woltemade took the opportunity to get away with Castello Lukeba, whom he has already met in Bundesliga several times with Stuttgart. From the 60th minute, the scorer was again very dangerous. Only downside of his performance: his lack of lucidity in the second period. He had several opportunities to kill the match, without succeeding in converting them. A whim has notably passed a few centimeters from Guillaume remained, which does not take much away from his good performance.
German efficiency
Two goals in fifteen minutes. This is enough to cool the blueberries quickly. The Mannschaft was clinical on the few occasions it had in the first period. Weiper (8th) then Woltemade (15th) marked before their team fell to the start of the second act. Subsequently, we can note a certain lack of realism for a German highlight around the 70th minute. They could have folded the match at that time. It was only awarded, Gruuder finished the work in additional time (90th+3) to offer his country a final against the English.
FLOPS
Two big errors of Singoutou Magassa
This is the story of this euro for tricolor hopes. They made a lot of defensive mistakes. It had happened against Denmark but tonight against a clinical Germany at the start of the match, that was too much. Soungoutou Magassa is at the origin of the first German goal. The Monegasque first does very well in a duel before transmitting a poorly guaranteed pass to Johann Lepenant. It is intercepted and the counter of the Mannschaft is dazzling. One to zero thanks to Weiper. A few minutes later, Lukeba negotiates a long -headed ball in front of the French surface but don’t panic, Magassa covers. Problem: the young Frenchman is missing his control and the same Weiper ships the ball. He transmits it to Woltemade which ends in two stages. Two to zero from the 15th minute of play. These avoidable errors killed the French match which then pushed throughout the match to return, without success.
The cruel lack of precision of the French
It cannot be said that the Blueberries have not had any opportunities. Such, Odobert, Abline, Merlin and Lepenant, they all tried … but all missed. Either by missing the target or by riding on the goalkeeper. Even the entrant Thierno Barry missed his face-to-face with the German porter on the return from the locker room. The Blueberries hit the goal for 7 shots on top of 7 times. There was also bad luck, it’s true. The same Barry found the post a few minutes from the term but it was generally insufficient offensively to hope to access the final.
