In last night's UEFA Europa League match, Hungary fought with tenacity, even when the team's top player, Adam Szolaj, left the field early due to heatstroke, and still managed to hold on to a 1-1 draw against the title favorites, France. The result left France's performance looking a little bleak, especially that of starting center forward Benzema, who missed three good chances in the match, much to the anger of France's head coach Didier Deschamps. Deschamps managed to lose control of his expression on the field as he covered his face with his hands and shook his head on the spot, a scene that is rare in the history of the French team. Benzema is 33 years old, but this season in the La Liga league performance is still outstanding, 34 games contributed 23 goals and 9 assists, so he was able to return to the French team, and become the team's main center forward. However, Benzema's performance did not meet expectations. In the 31st minute of the game, he wasted a great opportunity for France to take the lead, an unguarded shot in front of the penalty area was deflected, and this mistake became the turning point of the game.
In the face of Benzema's mistake, Deschamps looked extremely angry on the sidelines, he crossed his arms and complained more than a few times to the assistant coach, with his eyebrows furrowed, as if he had realized the problem. Subsequently, he even sat directly on the coach's seat, right hand over his face and shook his head, Benzema's shot was unacceptable. For Deschamps, Benzema's shot was something he had not anticipated.
As the game progressed to the 35th minute, Benzema once again made a cheap mistake. In a defensive counterattack of the French team, Mbappe attracted the attention of two defenders and passed the ball to the feet of Benzema in the middle of the road, but he once again handed the ball back to the opponent. Just a minute later, Benzema made his third mistake in a row, losing the opportunity to attack as he received the ball in the box and was easily cut off by his opponent.
Benzema's performance this night was clearly not up to the standard of his Real Madrid days. The French team failed to win, Benzema is afraid to bear most of the responsibility. In this regard, senior Chinese Super League football commentator Lao Qiu said: "Benzema's performance this night is really disappointing, the French team in order to achieve good results in the next game, must find a solution in Benzema."
