The three France players who impressed during the international break 🇫🇷 | OneFootball

World Cup Goal!

The latest international break has come to an end for Les Bleus. After a victory against Azerbaijan (3-0), Didier Deschamps’ men were held to a draw by Iceland (2-2).

Here are the 3 players who made an impression during this gathering, which saw many absentees.

Jean-Philippe Mateta

Called up for the first time at 28, the Crystal Palace striker got the job done. After a good appearance against Azerbaijan, he then started the match as a starter against Iceland.

Rather timid at the beginning of the game, he opened his scoring account for the national team in the 68th minute.

Two matches, one start, one goal... not bad for a debut!

Malo Gusto

For the third consecutive call-up, Chelsea’s right-back is with Les Bleus.

Starting against Azerbaijan, Gusto proved that he’ll be one to watch in the coming months.

In a position where nothing seems decided yet for Didier Deschamps, the former OL player was solid.

He showed that he can both secure his flank and actively contribute to the attacking build-up.

Maghnes Akliouche

With an assist in his third appearance for the French national team during the draw in Iceland (2-2), Maghnes Akliouche delivered.

Already impressive against Azerbaijan, where he came on in the second half, the AS Monaco midfielder continues to make a good impression.

Is it enough to convince Deschamps in the long run?
