WC 2022 – Qualifiers
In line with his meetings in the Bavarian jersey, Kingsley Coman offered a quality hour at the Stade de France. Incisive, twirling, the 24-year-old striker demonstrated that he could be essential on the right flank of the French attack.
Bleeding, confusing and dangerous in his every move. This Kingsley Coman version 2021 has everything of the perfect blaster. Like his performances at Bayern Munich where he excels on his wing, the Habs made the head of a Ukrainian rearguard unable to counter him for a little over an hour. It’s very simple, with each call or small arabesque, Coman made a difference and opened the breach for his partners. His favorite victim? Vitaliy Mikolenko. The young left-back, who has played twenty-seven games with Dynamo Kiev this season, was no doubt hoping to find a less transcendent and punchy Kingsley Coman on his way. Nay. The Bayern Munich winger made him see all the colors. To the left, to the right, face to face, behind the back. A technical recital, coupled with lightning starts. Like this first big acceleration, where after having ridiculed the Ukrainian defender at the start, he brought danger into the Ukrainian area, but Mbappé did not take advantage of it (10th).
Bis repeated, less than a quarter of an hour later, where on a very interesting call, the number 15 of the Blues was jostled by Heorhiy Buschan in full race (23rd). If the referee of the meeting, Tobias Stieler, did not show the small white dot, this action had the merit of showing the ability of Kingsley Coman to multiply the calls behind the back of the Ukrainian defense, something he was able to do on numerous occasions in the first period (29th, 42nd, 45th). This allowed Benjamin Pavard in particular to climb quite easily and to bring danger thanks to several centers. The Bavarian duo made a rather enterprising copy. As he has known so well in the Bundesliga since the start of the Championship. Always twirling in the second period, the former Turinese and Parisian split with a last good action before giving way to Ousmane Dembélé (60th). His exit surprised, so much Coman was one of the detonators of the French game in comparison with a Kylian Mbappé very concretely next to his pumps. A choice that can be described as strange on the part of the coach.

A notable difference with his left-wing friend, Kylian Mbappé, often absent from the debates and unwilling to make the first defensive effort … Coman had canes and proved it at the Stade de France this Wednesday evening. One of the rare French to be incisive and constant for an hour. Both in its offensive and defensive contribution. And obviously, a few weeks before the Euro, seeing the Bayern Munich player display such a level is rather interesting. If the physical glitches, which have often played a nasty trick on him in the past, leave him alone, Kingsley Coman has everything to be one of Didier Deschamps’ strong links at the next European Championship. To pass the course and finally become essential.
