I’ll never understand how players can only come on for penalties, it always goes wrong. The pressure is just too great, I don’t understand why so many coaches still do it.
Overall, if you look at the game, it’s a deserved win for France, it’s a shame they met them so early, otherwise I would have believed the U17s to have a lot in the tournament.
100% agreement with the 911s, felt completely unnecessary and you are under a lot of pressure.
Unfortunately, France lost to the Dutch in the preliminary round when they were already qualified.
In addition, the form is much more changeable in the junior area than in the pros, which can be the deciding factor in a game like this.
In the end, what remains is a great preliminary round and an unfortunate elimination in the first knockout game.
