Foot: the Blueberries miss their start (U20 World Cup)

The France U20 team missed its debut in the Under-20 World Cup by losing (2-1) against South Korea on Monday in Mendoza. Ten years after the band's triumph over Pogba in Istanbul, Les Bleuets fell from a height at the foot of the Andes, paying dearly for their naivete in defense.

Unable to secure their backs on their corner, they were penalized by the South Koreans who had shown absolutely nothing until then: on a supersonic counter-attack, captain Lee Seungwon concluded with a dry strike at the entrance to the penalty area (22nd).

While the Bleuets tried to pick up in the second period, the South Koreans again showed realism and drove the point home with a free kick, the immense Lee Youngjun cutting the trajectory to make the break (64th).

Six minutes later, Landry Chauvin's men benefited from a salutary stroke of luck, the referee awarded them a generous penalty which captain Virginius converted. Then they created a string of chances, in vain.

In this Group F which also includes Gambia and Honduras opposed at the end of the evening on the same lawn, the Bleuets will have to bounce back Thursday against the African team to hope to continue the adventure of this World Cup.
