France did the job in this first friendly match against Brazil. Indeed, Didier Deschamps’ team controlled their encounter, despite a slightly more dubious second period, winning the duel without trembling (1-2). According to Phillipe Montanier, the coach of ASSE, the Blues were clearly above. In an interview with L’Équipe after the match, he highlighted the numerous strengths of the squad with Adi Hütter (former coach of Monaco).
“We have so many resources, so many great players. I was talking with Adi Hütter, the former coach of Monaco, who recently told me: ‘In France, you get players by the dozen every year. You lose (Antoine) Griezmann and you recover (Michael) Olise'”. He then added a comment on the intensity of the match that took place in Foxborough “There was a lot of intensity in the first half, despite the transatlantic journey of both teams, as many Brazilian players play in Europe. In the second half, it was calmer, but before halftime, we saw a great French team. We were 22 times in their penalty area, we had 66% possession, we were rarely in danger. I found us dominant in all lines”. The two former Ligue 1 players seem to be pleased with this team.
