PARIS, March 25 ― New France captain Kylian Mbappe lived up to expectations with two goals in a 4-0 statement home win against the Netherlands as Les Bleus got their Euro 2024 Group B qualifying campaign started in ruthless fashion today.
With influential centre back Raphael Varane also now out of the international picture, France aimed to impress the fans in their first game since losing the World Cup final against Argentina on penalties in December and did just that against a virus-hit Dutch side under their newly-appointed manager.
“We're all behind him. We prepared ourselves saying we couldn't disappoint the fans for this first game here after the World Cup.” “If you're 2-0 behind after seven minutes it will of course be a hell of a job,” said Netherlands captain Virgil van Dijk. The visitors briefly threatened on the break but Depay's attempt went just wide as Koeman sent striker Wout Weghorst on for midfielder Kenneth Taylor in the 33rd minute.
