Endures difficult opener
Talbi recorded one shot (zero on goal) in Sunday's 5-1 loss against Sweden.
Analysis: Talbi had a difficult evening in Sunday's 5-1 defeat to Sweden, operating as a centre-back in a backline that was repeatedly carved apart by the combination play between Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres, registering one shot, zero accurate crosses and one interception in a match where his side conceded five times from 13 Swedish attempts. The centre-back was particularly exposed in the second half when Sweden's substitutes added fresh energy and pace to an already dominant attacking unit, and his inability to deal with movement in behind was central to Tunisia's catastrophic defensive evening. His reading of the game and physical attributes remain important for Tunisia's defensive structure, and a stronger collective organization in front of him will be essential if he is to perform closer to his best in the remaining group games.
