oving on in sport is never easy, even if the process is made easier by having the world’s best player at your disposal. France have an impressive recent record in international tournaments, having reached the finals in three of the last four, but their best performances – their elimination ofin 2016, their shackling of Belgium and Uruguay in 2018 – have been driven by canny midfielders who are full of running and self-sacrifice.
Griezmann is a complete footballer at the top of his game for more than a decade. He has a fair case to be considered the best player in the world not named Mbappé without a Ballon d’Or. A winger or second striker for much of his career, he has been used more often as a No 8 for his country in recent tournaments. In that position he can both drive the attack while also knitting play together, seemingly often on his own.
At 24, Tchouameni is still young for international football – as is 18-year-old Zaïre-Emery – but the Real Madrid man has made 30 appearances for his country and his positioning should be better. He was tormented by Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala, which had a knock-on effect on his teammates in the centre of the park.
