Already next Wednesday, the Ukrainian team will receive the guests of Kazakhstan in Kiev. We understand that we still have to live up to this time, at the same time that we have achieved a good result against the Finns, but you can get used to the ‘hawks’ now. Today they played against the French. Which is not cause for observation.
Kazakh mentor Talgat Baysufinov, like Andriy Shevchenko, decided to saturate the defensive line, so he played according to the scheme with five defenders. However, for the sake of fairness, we note that Kazakhstan is not using such training for the first time in a row. But Deschamps was a little surprised. In the announcement, we predicted certain changes, but nine new players … A little too much. Only two people survived after the Paris game: Captain Lloris and leader Griezmann. The rest stayed on the bench.
Despite the unsatisfactory result of the last game, the “blues” did not betray each other and decided to play passively again, not even including average speeds. But unlike the game against Ukraine, today that tactic has brought much better results. At the beginning, Martial, being on the line of the penalty area, noticed a free zone and Dembélé running there. Usman received the transmission, after which he showed that despite the fact that, according to his passport, he is left-handed, his right leg is also not walkable: 0: 1.
The second goal, which finally buried the hosts, happened a minute before the halftime whistle. The usual corner service ended in disaster, as center-back Maly cut the ball in his own goal. Note that 30 seconds before that, it was Sergei who prevented Martial from scoring on the gaps, taking the assault off the field. Tragedy. And not so much for Maly, as for the striker “MU”, who has only one goal for his team. Today there could be a second.

The second half, which only had a formal status for both hosts and guests, was not particularly interesting. The French continued to train the aerial game, possessing the ball with a great advantage. The Kazakhs tried to show activity, they were pressured at times, but they were much closer to the third goal conceded than to the first goal scored. Pogba struck dangerously from the set, the goalkeeper’s reaction was stopped by Dembélé, the first touch after the appearance could have scored Mbappé, but every time the “blue” was missing something. But judging from the mood, they weren’t very upset, because they perfectly understood that they wouldn’t lose three points.
The main thing to know about the end of the game is that Kylian Mbappé missed a penalty. Yes, he earned it himself, but the future leader of “Real” should implement such strikes. Especially after a little fight with the press after the match with Ukraine. The rehabilitation of one of the best players in the world was ruined. It is true that this fact did not affect the final score: 0: 2 in favor of the world champions. The French are winning the current national team for the first time and temporarily lead the group. It is true that questions remain for the game and dedication. Ukraine and Finland will play in Group D today and have a chance to catch up with the Blues.
