Former Cana football player Alexander Mostovoy appreciated the game of the French team at the World Cup in Qatar and remembered the “golden” generation of the French in the 1990s.
France defeated England 2-1 in the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Qatar. Morocco will face Didier Deschamps in the semi-finals. The game will take place on December 14 and will start at 22:00 Moscow time. It will be shown live on the Match TV channel.
– I remember Deschamps well, I found him in France when Didier played for Marseille and, I think, in Spain when he was at Valencia. Deschamps played in the support zone and was a typical workhorse, played more in defense, scored few goals. Such a midfielder, who performs tackles, makes tackles, is always needed by the team. If we talk about the current French team and the one from the 90s, I can’t compare these teams. Blanc, Deschamps, Desailly, Zidane played in that team.
Just before the World Cup in Qatar, many said that the French team would not be so strong, they had a lot of personnel losses. But they already have a crazy team. If we talk about Pogba, then he has not played for three years, and Kante has been in treatment for a year now. Yes, they had Benzema injured before the tournament, but the French have Giroud and other attackers as a substitute. Their back line in terms of names is crazy, but it’s not perfect, we saw it in the game with England, but overall the team is good.
It is clear that it will not be easy for them against Morocco, because they did not impress me in the game with England, their opponents even looked better. In general, the current generation of the French national team and the generation of the 90s cannot be compared. If they had not won the World Championship in 2018, then one could say that the older generation is stronger, Metaratings.ru quotes Mostovoy.

Former Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos He talked about his interaction with Brazilian striker Vinicius Junior and other representatives of Brazil within the scope of the “royal club”.
“The Brazilians aroused my sympathy even as a child. While playing for Real Madrid, I developed excellent relationships with Vinicius, Casemiro and Militao.
It is very easy to find a common language with these guys: they know how to enjoy life, and their mentality is significantly different from that of the Germans.
Casemiro and Vinicius and I understood each other perfectly on the field and developed a unique football bond with Vini.
We communicated warmly in daily life. I believe that if there is no contact between players off the field, it is extremely difficult to achieve harmony in the game.
I used Vini’s high-speed bursts effectively and he masterfully directed my passes,” AS Kroos reports.
Let’s remember that Kroos defended the jersey of Real Madrid from 2014 to 2024. During this decade the German midfielder won the Champions League five times.
