Vive_La_Villa Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Just now, Zatman said: Mm he managed France in 2014,2016, 2018,2021 with probably the best squads in the tournament. His ratio of success is top class Have to agree with Zatman here. It’s like saying Southgates a great manager because he got England to first final since 66. Or Big Phil for winning World Cup with Brazil. This squad should have really dominated the last 10 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted June 10, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted June 10, 2022 Played well I thought. Tried to be progressive with the ball when he could be. Cuts out passing lanes quite nicely. Looking forward to seeing more of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarryOnVilla Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I only caught the second half. He didn’t have an awful lot to do, France was all out attack and he was sitting waiting for any breaks, that rarely happed. Defensively he also didn’t have much to do, as Austria where hitting mostly long balls. going forward he wasn’t really putting himself about and his team mates passed around him. quiet game for him, but understandable considering the ball was mostly around Austria’s box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stegzy Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Really good performance I thought. Very disciplined but got on the ball a lot and nearly always picked out a forward pass accurately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they have Mbappe, but Belgium have De Bruyne. The others are fairly random As for Martinez, not sure how he is still managing that squad, he is the equivalent of Southgate, with a bit more attacking style, as ours is next to non existent.

Belgium’s squad used to be great but is definitely ageing. No more than 3-4 of their players would have a chance for France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im intrigued.. Except Mbappe, Benzema, Griezmann, Dembele, Pavard, Pogba, Kante, Kounde, Kimpembe, Varane, Hernandez brothers maybe even Giroud is better than what Belgium have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
