Didier Deschamps could hardly cobble together a worse starting XI than that to face Tunisia on Wednesday.

With nine changes from the success against Denmark (2-1), and a midfielder with four defensive profiles, without any creator, and with Guendouzi and Fofana respectively exiled on the left, what could the coach hope for?

Unsurprisingly, the Blues therefore showed nothing until the last half hour of play, with the entries of four usual starters, including Mbappé, Griezmann and Dembélé.

They lost (0-1) on a goal from Wahbi Khazri (58th), and there is only good news: they retain first place in their group.
