La mayor goleada en la historia Bleu / The biggest win in Bleu history

Las eliminatorias para la proxima Eurocopa en Alemania ya estan en la recta final, y aunque Francia ya no se jugaba nada realmente importante, mas alla del prestigio de ser la unica imbatida y con puntaje perfecto, pues ya estaba clasificada como primera de grupo antes de este partido, el equipo de Diddier no irrespetuo a su rival y salieron desde el minuto con mucha hambre, y aunque todos esperabamos una victoria sencilla y holgada al enfrentar a una seleccion tan debil como Gibraltar, nadie se esperaba una goleada tan antologica, que ya se encuentra como la paliza mas abultada de la historia de las Eurocopas.

The qualifiers for the next Euro Cup in Germany are already in the final stretch, and although France was no longer playing for anything really important, beyond the prestige of being the only one unbeaten and with a perfect score, since it was already classified as first in the group before In this match, Diddier's team did not disrespect its rival and they came out very hungry from the minute, and although we all expected a simple and comfortable victory when facing a team as weak as Gibraltar, no one expected such an historic rout, which already It is considered the largest defeat in the history of the Euro Cups.

Deschamps no se dejo a ninguna de sus estrellas en el banquillo, y antes de que el reloj marcara los 5 minutos, los franceses ya estaban arriba en el marcador 2 a 0, primero con un gol en contra del defensa central Ethan Santos, intentando repeler un pase de la muerte a Marcus Thuran, y solo unos segundos despues, el jugador del Inter del Milan marcaria al tomar un rebote del portero. El mismo defensa gilbraltareño se convertiria en el gran villano de la noche, pues en el minuto 18 dejo con un jugador menos a su equipo luego de una entrada criminal a la joven promesa del PSG, Zaïre-Emery, que termino abandonando el terreno de juego con una lesion en su tobillo luego de marcar su primer gol con los Bleus, y un par de records debajo del brazo.

Deschamps did not leave any of his stars on the bench, and before the clock hit 5 minutes, the French were already up on the scoreboard 2-0, first with a goal against central defender Ethan Santos, trying to repel a pass of death to Marcus Thuran, and just a few seconds later, the Inter Milan player scored by taking a rebound from the goalkeeper. The same Gilbraltarian defender would become the great villain of the night, because in the 18th minute he left his team with one less player after a criminal tackle on PSG's young promise, Zaïre-Emery, who ended up leaving the field of play with an ankle injury after scoring his first goal with the Blues, and a couple of records under his arm.

Con 3 goles en contra y jugador menos, Gibraltar no puedo con el juego ofensivo frances, y luego de los primeros 45 minutos, ya estaban 7 a 0 en el marcador. Con todos sus hombres metidos en su area, los visitantes intentaron sostener el marcador, y aunque en primera instancia los franceses salieron con el pie fuera del acelerador, el 8vo gol volvio a reactivarlos, y las anotaciones volvieron a caer una tras otra, pudiendo incluso llegar a ser mas bochornoso, pues Giroud vio como uno de sus tantos fue anulado por el VAR por un fuera de juego muy claro.

With 3 goals against and less player, Gibraltar could not withstand the French offensive game, and after the first 45 minutes, they were already 7 to 0 on the scoreboard. With all their men in their area, the visitors tried to maintain the score, and although in the first instance the French came out with their foot off the accelerator, the 8th goal reactivated them again, and the scores fell again one after another, and could even became more embarrassing, as Giroud saw how one of his goals was annulled by the VAR for a very clear offside.

Mas alla de la masacre futbolistica, este partido dejo muchas cosas interesantes, ya que mas alla de los records de precocidad rotos por Zaïne-Emery, otro jugador del PSG tambien pudo salir de su sequia goleadora, ya que Ousmane Dembele marco su primer gol oficial de la temporada, siendo su ultimo gol marcado uno cuando aun vestia la camiseta del Barcelona en enero, ya que su tanto en el clasico veraniego no cuenta para estadistica. Tambien pudimos ver goles de gran factura, Mbappe marco casi desde la mitad del campo, y Giroud marco doblete, uno por medio de una chilena, y extiende mas su legado como maximo goleador historico de la seleccion francesa.

Beyond the football massacre, this match left many interesting things, since beyond the precocity records broken by Zaïne-Emery, another PSG player was also able to break out of his scoring drought, since Ousmane Dembele scored his first official goal of the season, his last goal being scored when he was still wearing the Barcelona shirt in January, since his goal in the summer classic does not count for statistics. We were also able to see great goals, Mbappe scored almost from the middle of the field, and Giroud scored a double, one through a bicycle kick, and further extends his legacy as the French team's all-time top scorer.

Los franceses se encuentran actualmente en la cima de la tabla del grupo B, siendo junto a Portugal, los unicos con paso perfecto, lo que los coloca como los principales favoritos para levantar el trofeo europeo, luego de su decepcionante presentacion en la Eurocopa pasada, donde quedaron eliminados en los octavos de final. La cantera francesa cada año vuelve a renovarse, y constantemente vemos nuevos jugadores destacar en los mejores equipos del continente, viendo como jugadores como Todibo o el mismo Zaïne-Emery ganarse un puesto al lado de otros jugadores con mas paso como Mbappe, Griezmann o Coman.

The French are currently at the top of the group B table, being, together with Portugal, the only ones with a perfect pace, which places them as the main favorites to lift the European trophy, after their disappointing presentation in the last Euro Cup. where they were eliminated in the round of 16. The French quarry renews itself every year, and we constantly see new players stand out in the best teams on the continent, seeing how players like Todibo or Zaïne-Emery himself earn a place alongside other players with more pace like Mbappe, Griezmann or Coman.

Sumado a todo esto, los franceses cada vez se hacen mas dominadores en su juego, con dibujo tactico que cambia muy poco, y con funcionamientos muy claros, pese a la rotacion de nombres que hemos visto recientemente, por el exceso de calidad que tienen en cad una de sus lineas. Tambien se debe comentar que jugadores como Tchouameni o Camavinga del Real Madrid estan lesionados, lo que limita su accionar en el medio campo, pues el primero es tal vez el unico que puede dar suficiente solidez al mediocampo para jugar con un solo pivote y sumar otro jugador al ataque, aunque esto le quita un poco de protagonismo a Griezmann, que se mueve como pez en el agua cuando se posiciona por detras del 9.

Added to all this, the French are becoming more and more dominant in their game, with a tactical drawing that changes very little, and with very clear operations, despite the rotation of names that we have seen recently, due to the excess of quality they have in each one of its lines. It should also be mentioned that players like Tchouameni or Camavinga from Real Madrid are injured, which limits their actions in the midfield, since the first is perhaps the only one who can give enough solidity to the midfield to play with a single pivot and add another player on the attack, although this takes away a bit of Griezmann's prominence, who moves like a fish in water when he positions himself behind the 9.

Para el proximo partido ante Grecia lo mas seguro es que vemos varias rotaciones para ver jugadores con pocos minutos en la absoluta, e ir armando el plan de ruta para el proximo año, como por ejemplo el central del Chelsea Disasi, que seria interesante verlo en un dupla de centrales con Kounde, que no jugo en este partido, o Saliba, el jefe de la saga del Arsenal, asi como Khéphren Thuram, hijo mayor del exfutbolista Lilian Thuram, que a diferencia de su hermano y padre, juega como mediocampista, y que tendria que aprovechar este llamado para tratar de hacerse un puesto, tarea muy dificil viendo que los jugadores ausentes por lesion.

For the next game against Greece, it is most likely that we will see several rotations to see players with few minutes in the senior team, and put together the route plan for next year, such as Chelsea center back Disasi, who would be interesting to see in a central duo with Kounde, who did not play in this match, or Saliba, the head of the Arsenal saga, as well as Khéphren Thuram, eldest son of former footballer Lilian Thuram, who unlike his brother and father, plays as a midfielder, and that he would have to take advantage of this call to try to get a position, a very difficult task seeing that the players are absent due to injury.

Para terminar de mencionar otros datos de este grupo, Paises Bajos se encuentra en la segunda posicion, con 3 puntos de ventaja sobre Grecia, y viendo que jugara contra Gibraltar, podemos decir que esa segunda plaza ya esta asegura, mientras que las posibilidades de Grecia de ir a la cita son desconocidas para mi, ya que los Play-Offs se jugaran de acuerdo al papel de las seleccion en la Nations League, formato que favoreceria a equipos como Italia, que no lo esta pasando especialmente bien en su grupo. Como pensamiento final, la EUFA deberia replantearse el formato actual, pues un resultado de 14 a 0 es algo que roza lo ridiculo, menos mal que en Conmebol las cosas son mas sencillas, o al menos Mbappe sigue pensando eso, jajaja.

To finish mentioning other data of this group, the Netherlands is in second position, with 3 points ahead of Greece, and seeing that they will play against Gibraltar, we can say that that second place is already assured, while Greece's possibilities going to the event are unknown to me, since the Play-Offs will be played according to the role of the team in the Nations League, a format that would favor teams like Italy, which is not having a particularly good time in its group. As a final thought, the EUFA should rethink the current format, since a result of 14 to 0 is something that borders on the ridiculous, thank goodness that in Conmebol things are simpler, or at least Mbappe still thinks that, jajaja.
