World Cup 2018: France vs Denmark, 5 best and worst players

#3. Best: Martin Braithwaite

Braithwaite was the only one who looked intent and determined in attack for Denmark

Martin was energetic, influential and quick from the right-wing, protecting, shielding the ball and circulating it to churn out the final kick that could have resulted into a goal.

He was quick to get to the second balls and used his footwork to protect the possession of the ball, regularly finding a way into the box and creating a panicky situation inside France’s penalty box.

He used his left-foot to good effect and squared it off for his teammates at the appropriate time too.

Being a winger, the time at which he released the ball was crucial and Braithwaite almost flawlessly found out his teammates with some good passing range and a couple of deft touches too.

He tried to take a shot at goal himself too, but that could not be successful as Martin was a bit too acute to the goal to thump off a meaningful goal either.

He was the sole shining spark in a match when the Danes primarily focused on their defensive organization more than their attacking endeavors. His energy was infectious, and he was certainly the best forward on the pitch from Denmark’s perspective.
