Tunisia-France (Wednesday, 30 November, 4 pm)
Tchouameni played the full game and was one of the best players on the pitch pulling off a strong performance. As we are used to, he showed maturity and a sophisticated sense of play, despite being so young. His presence in the midfield is making the absence of Kante and Pogba significantly less noticeable than thought. Meanwhile the other youngster Camavinga was not used by Deschamps for the game. France secures the spot for the next stage with this victory and quietly awaits for the upcoming game vs Tunisia.
