Olivier Giroud Trusts France's Goal Record When Meeting Denmark In The Second Match Group D

JAKARTA - Striker Les Bleus, Olivier Giroud will seek to become France's all-time leading goalscorer when Les Bleus faces Denmark in the second match of Group D of the 2022 World Cup Saturday, November 26, 23.00 WIB. Winning for France would mean holding a ticket to the last 16 while leaving one game against Tunisia. Giroud has matched the record 51 goals scored by Thierry Henry after scoring two goals when France won 4-1 over Australia four days ago. Winner this defense started the 2022 World Cup campaign convincingly. Now they have not started a mission of revenge against Denmark. Because Didier Deschamps' team lost their last two meetings against Denmark in the Nations League. Goal-hungry Deschamps attack quartet consisting of Kylian Mbappe, Giroud, Antoine Griezmann and Ousmane Dembele will return to play from the start. Even so, Deschamps this time took a more careful approach to the drainage at the time of beating Australia. "We see no small team in modern football. We see that from the match against Denmark," said Dembele, who may really remember Les Bleus' last two meetings with Denmark. Reported by Antara, Deschamps will further strengthen the defense by adding to his back line experience. That means it's time for Deschamps to play Raphael Varane who is expected to be ready to compete again after recovering from a hamstring injury. Deschamps also puts another face on The left-back installed Theo Hernandez from the start in that position after his regular filler, Lucas Hernandez, who is none other than Theo's brother, was absent from the competition due to a knee injury against Australia. Meanwhile, Denmark was held to a goalless draw by Tunisia in the opening match. Kasper Hjulmand's manager has learned from the result that the tempo of the game must be raised again. Now France is the target of their failure to pick up the three points from the first game because of "If you don't speed up the tempo against France, then you're in trouble. We have to increase the tempo," Hjulmand was quoted as saying by Reuters. Hjulmand gives a special task to captain Simon Kjaer to tame Giroud. "I wish him the best of because midfielder Thomas Delaney suffered a knee injury against Tunisia. He will not even be able to play again until this tournament is over. Match scenario Both teams will form an offensive formation by both stacking attacking-oriented players to break into the opponent's goal as quickly as possible. But France was ambushed by an injury which even happened before the 2022 World Cup began. Now the disease is getting more acute after left-back Lucas Hernandez The anterior ligament was torn just as Australia scored last Tuesday's goal. The Bayern Munich player was even forced to miss this tournament. But coach Didier Deschamps has the right replacement for Theo Hernandez who is also Lucas' younger brother, who looked just as charming as his brother when he faced Australia.

This keeps the French defense sector as confident as before so that their defense wings can be protected from Denmark, which often attacks from any sector, including from both wings. Deschamps also can't lower Kingsley Coman because of pelvic problems. The good news is that he was able to lower Raphael Varane who against Socceros pulled over. This is a sign that Dayot Upamecano and Ibrahima Konate must no longer be a starter. But that will not make the strengthening of the French fort of defense less. Instead, Denmark will be more busy parrying Ousmane Dembele's quartet attack, Antoine Griezmann, Kylian Mbappe and Olivier Giroud, rather than thinking of how to penetrate Raphael Varane cs in the French defense area. Denmark also lost one of its core players after midfielder Thomas Delaney was injured against Tunisia. He may have missed more than one game. Overall, Kasper Hjulmand was not bothered by other injury problems, includingplaymaker Christian Eriksen. But Delaney's absence made Eriksen more operationally more into approaching self-defense with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. This could affect the quantity of the ball supply from the middle to Kasper Dolberg.

Dolberg himself is likely to be set parallel to Andreas Skov Olsen and Mikkel Damsgaard, who this time may have been fielded since the start of the match. The three attackers in the 3-4-3 formation became ideal choices rather than putting two strikers against Tunisia, given that France is far more offensive than Denmark's first opponent. Kasper Schmeichel's goalkeeper layers will still rely on the three defenders' structure consisting of Joachim Andersen, Andreas Christensen, and Simon Kjaer's captain. They will be flanked by Oliver Christensen and Joakim Maehle on both wings. They will be the key factor that countered the French attack led by Kylian Mbappe.
