Blueberries Pierre Mankowski qualified for the final of the World Under-20 on Wednesday. They beat Ghana 2-1 thanks to a brace from Florian Thauvin and will face Uruguay in the final.The France team under 20 years accessed for the first time in the World Cup final in his age category, beating Ghana 2-1 thanks to a brace from Florian Thauvin Wednesday in Bursa and is just one step of a historic success for the tricolor football. "Generation 93" has succeeded where all its glorious predecessors had failed and have been faithful to the rendezvous before arriving in Turkey. It now remains for him to get rid Saturday in Istanbul, Uruguay, who had to rely on penalties to rule Iraq (1-1, 7 tab 6), before entering his name in the history and add to the window of the French Football Federation the only trophy still missing men.Blueberries, jostled by a Ghanaian training they dominated the first round (3-1) were able to make a difference on two personal exploits Thauvin (43rd, 74th, second and third goals of the tournament), thus canceling the equalization of Assifuah (47th). But big blow: they will happen in the final defender Samuel Umtiti, warned twice and expelled late in the game (80th). Criticized after the first phase more than sluggish, even disturbing (1 win, 1 draw, 1 defeat), France and brilliant individuals have suddenly awakened to show up to their rank, with a nice breath of fresh air a French football in the trough of the wave from the misadventures of A in the 2014 World Cup qualifying and during the recent tour of South America, signed by two stinging defeats against Uruguay (1-0) and Brazil ( 3-0).
Thauvin a flat screen
After Turkey (4-1) and Uzbekistan (4-0), Ghanaians, deprived of their central hinge Attamah-Lartey and attacking midfielder Odjer, could do nothing against the French machine that not much is seems to deviate from its goal to leave Turkey with the supreme title. A coronation would have the appearance of a bright contrast to Pierre Mankowski, who FFF refused to continue the adventure with "Generation 93", entrusting the fate of Hopes Willy Sagnol.From the beginning of the match, the difference of class and talent was clearly visible between the two teams, France is providing several opportunities including a shot against the post Bahebeck (6th) while the defense, especially the solid hinge Zouma -Umtiti, did not leave the poor Ghanaian attackers breathe. But the African team proved in the eighth and quarter-final unsuspected mental resources that blueberries may have a bit undervalued, making himself surprise after the break on a beautiful striking Assifuah (47), author of the 5th achievement in this World Cup.The provision of any captain Paul Pogba has not helped Blueberries, which could drink the cup without two decisive Alphonse Areola parades on a free kick Acheampong (49th) and a Anaba head (51) . As for the other leader-between game, Geoffrey Kondogbia, he quickly seemed dull and physically did not have his usual influence. It did not count on Florian Thauvin, the hero of the semi-final. Lethargic in the first match, the French striker has proved by his double and acceleration he had regained all his senses at the right time. Saturday, Blueberries have great need of his services to definitely go down in history.
