Didier Deschamps certainly did not expect such a start of the match. Cornered by the aggressive and very adventurous Argentines in attack, the Blues had already conceded two goals before the 40th minute thanks to a penalty from Lionel Messi (23rd) and a great collective action from Ángel Di Maria (36th). It was enough for the tricolor coach to try the kick.
In the 40th minute, he brought out Randal Colo Muani and Marcus Thuram in front of his father Lilian, who was present at the Lusail Stadium, instead of Ousmane Dembele and Olivier Giroud, who were in great difficulty. The Barcelona winger lost a lot of balls and is responsible for the Argentine penalty as he hooked Di Maria.
41′ Double replacement at the “Blues”!

A new script from Didier Deschamps who certainly hopes the two cast members will cause a click in the Blues’ game. Moreover, Markus Thuram and Randal Kolo Mouani successfully reached the semi-finals against Morocco (2-0). The Nantes player also scored his first national goal against the Atlas Lions about forty seconds into the game.
