Unlike  Argentina which was surprised by a valiant team of Saudi Arabia, the defending champions have rather well started their World Cup by winning 4-1 against Australia in a controlled match.

Despite an early opening and an injury to Lucas Hernandez, Didier Deschamps’ men found the necessary resources to come back and then take control of the game.
First with a superb header from Adrien Rabiot who took a well worked cross from Theo Hernandez who replaced his older brother on the equalizer.

This same Rabiot was at the origin of the goal of advantage after a misunderstanding at the Australian defense. After a recovery of Kylian Mbappé, the midfielder of Juventus of Turin served on a solid gold plate Olivier Giroud who scored his first goal in the competition and his 50th in his career in blue.

And that’s not all because at the return of the locker room Kyllian Mbappé and Oliver Giroud for his personal double, have increased the score. By this double, the striker of Ac Milan has equaled a certain Thierry Henry with 51 goals in the French team.

It is necessary to note the good performances of Ousmane Dembeélé and Antoine Griezmann, Aurélien Tchouameni and the defensive pair Dayot Oupamecano and Ibrahima Konaté during this large and important victory of the world champions in title.
Australia, very enterprising at the beginning of the game, sank in front of the talent of the French who put back in play in the most beautiful way their title in this Qatari world.
The only negative note of the blues is the knee injury of Lucas Hernandez who must undergo examinations for more precisions on health.

Very good start for Hugo Lloris’ teammates who are however deprived of several important executives because of injuries before facing next Saturday Denmark who had previously drawn against Tunisia.
