I don't get the Blaisou and Giroud hate
Matuidi's a worker, unselfish, make runs to provide space and opportunities for others, can cross, press from first to last minute, is humble and goes hard for the NT. He was trash against Peru but he was playing as a winger (!) so he could provide support to Hernandez against Peru's right side. I guess we played better today when he wasn't in the squad. The problem of France is not one player, it's the system in which we play.
Giroud can play passing football as he links very well as a pivot with a second striker (Grizzi) but also a crossing target as he's very good with header and positioning. He's slow, a bit too soft and not a great striker by any means but he has always delivered with the NT. Works hard and he has the ability to score wondergoals out of thin air.
We have flashy players we need unselfish workers to balance the team.
