EFootball 23 - World Cup MODE Gameplay | Brazil Vs France

It looks as though we're going to have a great turnout, such has been the level of enthusiasm generated once the fixture was announced. There is still movement in the crowd, plenty of people yet to take their seats. The roads outside are very, very busy, particularly around this time of day. This place, simply a monument to the game. So much prestige, so much pride, so much passion whenever football is played here. Two high-profile, high-caliber teams. This is a welcome event for all these supporters. Yes, Peter, it's a shame it's only a friendly, but then again, that may help us see a more expressive attack. Lucas Paquita! Great effort, beautifully taken. The technical control was exquisite, the pummeled attempt was exasperating. Shapes to shoot! And collective relief etched on the faces of the defenders. Really got in the face of his opponent to set it up. It's great grafting. Marquinhos. And he's found the run. It's Neymar! He's felt that, hasn't he? That's a foul, three kicks been given. Now it's Rafinha. Iñak makes the interception. He is through here! Rabiot. Played through for the white man. Iñak just loves to go forward whenever he can. Now it's Neymar. Gets his pass away. Played back in. Shade too heavy, Kepa can pick that up. Mbappe. In with the challenge. And no, that is pretty much the end of that. Kante does really well to win the ball there. And it's intense this, this pressure from the front. Kimpembe. The ball is loose and the chase is on. Well that tackle was certainly sturdy. Played out towards the right wing. Now it's Nkunku. He's got away! Lucas Paqueta. That pass has been well intercepted. Clears it out of harm's way. Now looking to orchestrate a counter. And it's Neymar. It's the goalkeepers to claim. And that'll be the last act of the first half. So both sides have drawn blanks. They have toiled at times but it's not been a bad game by any means. What have we learned from the first 45 minutes? Unspectacular but solid. And that solidity could yet be the foundation for them to go on and win. Brazil head to the dressing room not yet having broken through. Tight cagey game. Neither team any further forward than they were when they started out. But we're already into the second period. Brazil can feel really happy with themselves. The scoreline doesn't back down. Big chance! He has done it! The second half off to a spectacular start. No space, no problem. You just cannot stop him. Well he had to deal with an awful lot of unwanted attention. But his tenacity won the day. The goal scorer for Brazil. Brazil draw first blood here. Whatever the manager said in that dressing room at half time. It's worth a treat. Brazil clearly are trying to establish themselves as a team that likes to retain the ball, Peter. And it's a good watch, Jim, isn't it? Well it is and it's always... Oh! Shooting chance! It's a goal! Two up now and they are cruising. Brazil clearly executed that with considerable confidence. It only took seconds to score once the ball was recovered. The goal scorer for Brazil. After 57 minutes. So that's two now without reply. Well unsurprisingly, Peter, the opposition look completely stunned. I'm not sure they can gather themselves. He's left his man. The attendance for this match was 71,000. I'm not quite sure he needed to hold up play quite as much as he did then. A couple of his teammates were very annoyed. Now he's taken off it. That's really well played. Danilo. Now it's Mbappe. Now it's Rafinha. Gets away from his opponents. Oh, it's a lovely bit of skill there. Neymar. And the shot! Oh, he did the hard part right but fluffed the finish. Beautifully worked to take the defense out of the picture. But there'll be no rush to see the replay on this. Oh, that is asking for trouble. It's loose. Great chance! ...fully received. Brazil take a three goal lead and they are romping out of sight. Pavard. Fred. Rafinha. Into the last quarter of an hour. Kimpembe. Pressure already building up here. And he should have made it four. Yeah, on another occasion you hold up when wrong, make them right. So now we're going to get those changes we have been expecting. Goes in for the header! Oh, could fall kindly. Crossed in. Punched away. Now it's Lucas. Lucas Paquita! And that has forced the very best out of the keeper. Oh look, I don't want to sound too dismissive, but from here that looked the harder thing to do. Brazil corner number two then. France can counter promptly here. And Richarlison! It's run loose, who's going to get there? But nothing doing. Short challenge there, uncompromising. Richarlison! Now who's going to be first to this? Keeper's got his work done. Fred. Fred! Oh, extraordinary. Substitutions taking place. Ah, now some movement on the bench and we are going to see a change. Well for me... And that is it, the referee has seen enough. Brazil, comfortable winners. A virtuoso display, utterly one-sided. Neymar. How would you summarise what we've seen today then, Jim? Brazil can certainly give themselves a pat on the back for a job well done. They have a togetherness that makes them very hard to beat. It just remains for me to thank Jim Beglin for joining us.
