Japan is a steamroller and proved it once again . The Asian team aims to win the gold medal of the Tokyo Olympic Games 2020 . Comfortable in their group they had to face the France by André Pierre Gignac . The Tigres forward had an excellent participation in the tournament, but could not do anything against the 4-0 win by the Japanese.
The mighty France was called to be one of the teams that would animate the tournament. Two players from the Liga MX were the brand new reinforcements of the Galo team: Thauvin and Gignac. The French forward intended to be decisive in the last game and lead behind his back to his nation. However, the young Japanese figure appeared: Takefusa Kubo.

France says goodbye to the tournament very beaten. The European team lost by a landslide against Mexico, Japan and South Africa knew how to score three goals . In this sense, the French team returns to Europe with eleven goals in the suitcase . Without a doubt, a terrible participation for a team that was called to be the protagonist.
Gignac always tried
If there is a footballer who cannot be criticized for his performances, it is André Pierre Gignac . The Tigres striker fulfilled his role to the letter: score goals . The experienced striker scored four of the five goals that France scored in the tournament . Despite his efforts, Gignac will have to return to Mexico empty-handed.
Andre-Pierre Gignac is now the top men’s scorer at the Olympics 😳

The failure of Sylvain Ripoll
The French coach was at the center of the controversy after will discredit the victory of Mexico on the first day of the Olympic Games . After three dates it can be seen how the strategist could not find the team. Without a doubt is a very negative balance in which the defense sector suffered with capital letters.
