France Player Tasked With Man-Marking Messi In World Cup Final Revealed

France Player tasked with man-marking Messi in World Cup Final revealed.

Newsone reports that Aurlelien Tchouameni has become the leader of France’s midfield in the absence of Pogba and Kante who are not part of the team due to injuries. The reality is that the Real Madrid player is doing the work of his two teammates, especially that of the Chelsea player, meaning we’ve seen a more defensive midfielder in Qatar than under Ancelotti.

This online news platform understands that the France player and former Monaco player put on another show against Morocco in the FIFA World Cup 2022 quarter-final where he recovered the most balls of all players with 11, ahead of the 10 of Amrabat and Theo Hernandez.

Tchouameni was also one of the French players who controlled the game the most. He finished with the third most passes, first if you look at midfield and forwards, with 40 passes out of 47, only surpassed by the two central defenders, Varane and Konate, who are responsible for initiating the play. The France player with the third most recovered balls was Griezmann, with eight, but he made 21 passes out of 26.

More attacking without Rabiot explains the importance that Tchouameni has in the France midfield and will have in the duel against Argentina. He’ll be the only defensive pivot because Rabiot is expected to return, and then there is Griezmann. Deschamps has entrusted him to sweep through everything that is Albiceleste in the middle of the park, as that’s where the coach knows Messi goes to initiate the play. That’s where the PSG player can cause the most damage if he receives the ball and turns around, and Deschamps knows that the Madrid player has strength and endurance to work hard in that area and even initiate play.

After the match against Morocco, the Real Madrid player was asked about trying to stop Messi and according to Tchouameni, stopping PSG’s Messi is a team effort.

“We’ll have to defend well. We’ll have to show all our qualities. It’s a World Cup final, there’s Messi, but there’s also a lot of quality on the sidelines. We have to be prepared, be aware of the opportunity we have to make history. We’ll see what happens,” he said.

The reality is that Tchouameni’s numbers show his development. For starters, he is the only French player to start every game, even playing against Tunisia when some of his teammates were rested. After the match, he admitted he felt the wear and tear: “How did we finish? To be honest, dead.”

Overall, he is the French player who has recovered the most balls and made the most interceptions of all the players in the World Cup, with 12

Newsone Nigeria reports that Tchouameni also came out in defense of Mbappe, who hasn’t scored in the last two games: “When you come from scoring and doing incredible things, it may seem that he hasn’t been good. But he played a good game, he helps us all a lot and he is key.”
