Difficult start to the campaign for the Blues in the League of Nations … Defending champion, France still has no victory after two games in this 2022-2023 edition.
Beaten by Denmark (2-1) for their entry into contention Friday at the Stade de France, the team of Didier Deschamps could not do better than a draw (1-1), this Monday evening in Croatia. It is not for lack of having shown good intentions, offensively in particular, but the Blues complicated the task by conceding a penalty at the end of the match.
Several fixed or spared frames
Clauss, who had just entered the game, committed the irreparable in the area, allowing Kramaric to put the two teams equal (1-1, 83rd), half an hour after the opener signed Rabiot (52nd, 0 -1).
Note that the coach had to do without many executives for this match: Varane, injured against Denmark, left the rally this weekend, Ngolo Kanté was in the stands, while Karim Benzema and Kylian Mbappé, yet registered on the match sheet, did not appear on the lawn of the Poljud stadium in Split.
