The 2022 Qatar World Cup will be held on November 21 at 0:00 Beijing time in Doha, Qatar. There are still 23 days until the start of the event. Because the World Cup is the top tournament in the world, with a large number of spectators, there must be new fans who are not familiar with the participating teams, so let's continue to talk about Group D France now.
Team profile
Founded in 1904, the French men's national football team is a national football team led by the French Football Association and a regular in the World Cup. Since 1930, he has participated in 15 editions and won the championship twice: once in the 1998 World Cup on home soil, defeating Brazil to win the title. Once was the last World Cup in Russia 2018 4-2 victory against Croatia. One-time runner-up: Runners-up in the 2006 World Cup final in Germany on penalties. Twice third-place: the 1958 World Cup in Sweden was won by Fontaine, Piantoni and Raymond Kopa, and the 1986 World Cup in Mexico was third in a 4-2 overtime win over Belgium in extra time. In 15 editions, he participated in 66 games, including 34 wins, 13 draws and 19 losses, scoring 120 goals and conceding 77 goals in total.
In the European Championships, he won the championship in 1984 and 2000, and finished second in 2016.
Team manager
Didier Deschamps
Deschamps was born in Bayony, France, a member of the French national football team, a coach and a midfielder. Deschamps played 102 games for the national team, captaining France to both the 1998 World Cup and the 2000 European Football Championship. He has played for Nantes, Marseille, Bordeaux, Juventus in Serie A, Chelsea in the Premier League, Valencia in La Liga, etc. Having coached Serie A Juve and Ligue 1 Monaco and Marseille, he became the manager of France in July 2012. At the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Deschamps led France to the last eight, losing to eventual champions Germany in the quarterfinals. On July 16, 2018, he led the team to a 4:2 victory over Croatia in the final of the World Cup in Russia, giving the team the first time in 20 years to win the Hercules Cup.
Star players
The French team is famous for its star players, such as Mbappe, Benzema, Griezmann, Koeman, Dembele, Martial, N'Golo Kante, Pogba, Lemar and so on. France are favourites to win the title, but there is infighting in the team, which is quite unfavorable for this year's World Cup.
Mbappe
Mbappe, born 20 December 1998 in Bondi, Seine-Saint-Denis, France, is a French professional footballer who plays as a striker for Paris Saint-Germain FC in Ligue 1 (Greater Paris) since August 2017. Entering the public eye was at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, for which he won the World Cup Rookie of the Year Award and was selected as the FIFA Team of the Year.
Benzema
Benzema, who debuted in Ligue 1 Lyon, played for Lyon first team at the age of 17, and was Lyon's main striker at the age of 20.
In 2009, he moved to Real Madrid in La Liga, where he still plays for Real Madrid, which is enough to show his quality. At the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Benzema scored two goals and created an own goal in his first World Cup debut, leading France to a 3-0 victory over Honduras to start the World Cup. This World Cup may also be the last for the football star born in 1987. To be honest, I'm really looking forward to it.
