We do not know what will give this team assembled from odds and ends, but at least it has launched its Olympic campaign well.
The Blues led by André-Pierre Gignac won in what was their only preparation match against South Korea (2-1), in Seoul.

Unsurprisingly, Ripoll organized his 4-3-3 around the most experienced players: Bernardoni in goal, Savanier and Tousart in the middle, Gignac and Thauvin in front.
The French were convincing in the first half, but without finding the loophole.
Against the course of the game, Korea opened the scoring after returning from the locker room on a penalty from former Dijonnais Kwon (63rd).
But the entrants made it possible to reverse the course of the match, with first an equalizer from Nantais Kolo Muani in the 83rd, then a second goal from Rémois Mbuku.
The Blues will start the Olympics on Thursday, against Mexico (10 am French time).
