From our special correspondent in Bucuresti,
Come on friends, come on girlfriends, more than a nap before knowing what France has in the belly once the stages of hens have passed which, whatever may say, have calmed our enthusiasm a little and made our ankles deflate. of pretentious world champions. And if we did not have access to the players, closed door requires, we must justify our boss this expensive trip to Romania. So let’s go.
And a new wounded one!
If the news wants to be reassuring concerning the state of the knee of Lucas Hernandez, it is not impossible that Didier Deschamps has to suffer from a new absence. Indeed, Jules Koundé received a blow to an hamstring during the match against Portugal and would be very uncertain for the 8th final on Monday against the Nati.
The revolution is on
Since there seems to be more hair on Guy Stéphan’s head than left side available to the tricolor staff, DD had to tinker with a D system in order to deal with the most in a hurry. It could therefore be that the France team evolves with three central defenders of trades, in a pattern a 3-4-3 (or 3-5-2) fashionable everywhere in Europe but rarely used in our regions, with Clément Lenglet to reinforce the Varane-Kimpembe duo. Adrien Rabiot would then take the left lane while Benjamin Pavard would officiate in right piston. Always according to The team (What do you mean, we lack information ???), it is the group’s executives who would have pushed for this last-minute cabinet reshuffle.
“So, are you not coming in the evening anymore?” “
After invading Budapest, the French fans had to face the facts: they will not shake the Arena Națională in Bucharest as they set Puskas Arena on fire last Wednesday. Hey yeah, with this convoluted formula of a Euro to 87 teams, they did not know the place of the 8th final of the Blues until late Wednesday evening, after the draw against Portugal. Except that in the meantime, the algorithm of online sales sites had engaged in its low maneuvers and increased prices neither-seen-nor-known-je-t-muddles. Result, impossible for our warriors to find places less than 257 euros one way. THE GO !!! And yet, at that price, we had to agree to leave Beauvais. Our Blues will therefore have to be content with the support of barely 1,500 fans who, let us be sure, will make noise for all those who remain in the country.
The program of the day
The Deschamps-Lloris duo’s press conference, initially scheduled for 2:30 pm, was finally postponed just behind, at the stroke of… 6:45 pm. It is certainly a detail for you, but for us etc. etc. The players will then train at the Arc de Triomphe stadium in Bucuresti, as they say here. At 8:30 p.m. local time (7:30 p.m. in France), in order to take advantage of temperatures less boring than those which prevail during the day in the Romanian capital.
