3-2! Mbappe was dumb in a row, France's defense was useless, and it was not easy to win the European Cup

Despite failing to defend their World Cup title, the talent-rich France squad remain one of the favourites to win this summer's European Championships. In the previous qualifying stage, the Gallic Rooster played all the way and easily qualified for the main competition. However, in this national team break, the French team got off to a bad start, losing 0-1 at home to the German team in the trough, and Mbappe's ability to lead the team was once again questioned. After a few days of rest, France welcomed their second warm-up opponent, Chile, and the two sides had only met 4 times before, with France at a disadvantage with 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses. Mbappe missed a good chance to win two games in a row, but he set up Youssef Fofana to open the scoring, and Olivier Giroud also scored to lead France to a narrow 3-2 victory.

Didier Deschamps continued to use a 4-3-3 formation, with Maignan replacing Samba in the back four of Te'o, Konat, Saliba and Clos, and Yusuf Fofana in midfield with Real Madrid duo Tchouameni and Camavinga, and Mbappe, Giroud and Muani forming the front three.

In the 6th minute of the first half, Isla knocked back the triangle on the right side, Nunes met the ball and swept straight to the corner, Maignan could not do anything, Chile made a dream start, 1-0!

France, who were behind, suffered another blow five minutes later, and if Nathan Klos was injured and could not hold on, Deschamps had to make a passive substitution, and Kounde came on as a substitute. However, the series of bad news did not disrupt the rhythm of France. In the 19th minute, Mbappe knocked back in the middle, Youssef Fofana suddenly sent a cold arrow, the ball bounced to the ground and drilled into the lower left corner, Bravo couldn't reach the whip, France equalized, 1-1! According to statistics, this is the 27th assist of Mbappe's national team career, tying Henry.

In the 22nd minute, Te'o crossed from the left, Mbappe grabbed the point and pushed, and the ball was off the post! As the saying goes, the east is not bright and the west is bright, Mbappe missed the opportunity, but his teammates seized it! In the 25th minute, Te'o sent another cross from the left, Muani pressed Isla, and the header went into the far corner, and France won two cities in a row, 2-1.

In the 33rd minute, Mbappe sent a straight plug from the front of the penalty area, and Te'o turned around and shot from a small angle. In the 43rd minute, Camavinga sprained his ankle in a scramble and was also unable to continue the game, and Guendouzi came off the bench, which was undoubtedly bad news for Real Madrid.

In the 49th minute, Kounde crossed from the right, Giroud jumped high on the spot to hit the goal, and Bravo confiscated the ball steadily. One minute later, Sanchez received a cross from a team-mate, and the edge of the penalty area did not adjust and shot directly with his feet, just over the crossbar.

In the 77th minute, Muani broke through along the bottom line and found Giroud on a reverse triangle, who slotted home to give France a 3-1 lead. Olivier Giroud scored the 57th goal of his international career to remain the team's all-time leading scorer.

In the 82nd minute, Osorio suddenly shot a cold arrow outside the penalty area, Maignan had no choice, the ball went into the net, Chile scored another goal, and the score became 2-3!

However, France still maintained a score of 3-2 until the end, quickly emerging from the shadow of the last defeat to Germany, and also won its first victory in 2024. However, the French team conceded two goals in two consecutive games, and if they play in the European Championship with such a defense, I am afraid it will be difficult to win the championship.
