Brazil/France – France player ratings in the press: an encouraging display | OneFootball

As part of a friendly match, the France national team was at Gillette Stadium (United States) this Thursday to face Brazil and managed to win 1-2 despite Dayot Upamecano’s red card in the 55th minute (Brazil/France video highlights). A match involving 5 Paris Saint-Germain players, all on the French side: Lucas Chevalier, Lucas Hernandez, Warren Zaïre-Emery, Désiré Doué, Ousmane Dembélé. Here are the Bleus' ratings in the press.

Le Parisien:

Mbappé (6.5)

Ekitike (6) – Olise (6) – Dembélé (6)

Rabiot (6.5) – Tchouaméni (7)

T. Hernandez (5) – Upamecano (4) – Konaté (6) – Gusto (5.5)

Maignan (6)

L’Equipe:

Mbappé (6)

Ekitike (7) – Olise (6) – Dembélé (5)

Rabiot (7) – Tchouaméni (7)

T. Hernandez (4) – Upamecano (4) – Konaté (6) – Gusto (4)

Maignan (5)

There are always differences in ratings from one outlet to another, even if the 5.5 and 4 for Gusto may be surprising. The sports daily was harsher overall. Still, the average is fairly encouraging for a friendly against a very high-level team. Even if Brazil were not very convincing this Thursday, that was also due to the Bleus’ strong performance. Including Dembélé, who provided the assist for Mbappé.

Of course, there is no need to get too carried away with the World Cup in mind. But there are still positives to take away. They will need to confirm that against Colombia this Sunday evening, while Brazil will try to get back to winning ways in the night from Tuesday to Wednesday (French time) against Croatia.
