Oh they are . Even the Benzema affair didn ' t hinder this team too much . Except well , for the fact that Benzema is a great player and couldn ' t play . The biggest issue was chemistry , but at the end of the euro , the chemistry was there . Against Albania and Switzerland and Romania , the team wasn ' t there yet , but compare that to the performance against Iceland , or Germany , and you ' ll see that defensively the fullback pair communicate very well with Kos leading it , and offensively , Griezou , Giroud and Payet play off each other very easily . The only real weakness are the left and right backs . I ' d say that our midfield is solid but could be better too . <| sep |> One is the first mission , the other is the complete first season .
