Turkey/France – France ratings in the press: a mixed first outing | OneFootball

As part of the Nations League, the France team was at Kocaeli Stadium this Friday to face Turkey and narrowly won 0-1 (Turkey/France video highlights). A match involving 3 Paris Saint-Germain players, all French: Désiré Doué, Maghnes Akliouche and Ousmane Dembélé. Here are the Bleus’ ratings in the press.

Le Parisien:

Mbappé (5.5) – Dembélé (5) – Olise (5) 

 Rabiot (5.5) – Koné (6) – Cherki (5.5)

Truffert (5.5) – Lacroix (5) – Upamecano (7) – Koundé (4.5)

Maignan (7)

L'Équipe:

Mbappé (5) – Dembélé (4) – Olise (6) 

 Rabiot (6) – Koné (5) – Cherki (6)

Truffert (5) – Lacroix (6) – Upamecano (6) – Koundé (5)

Maignan (7)

Les Bleus were interesting at times, but they also understandably showed a few difficulties. It is good to have Maignan in top form, except France should aim to have someone other than its goalkeeper as man of the match. There is still work to do, which is only natural in the early days with Zinedine Zidane as head coach. Everything takes time to put in place; at least the win is there. And it came with a fairly encouraging display, not a worrying one.
