Five trade exchanges aligned against Switzerland (youhou), Pogba regales the gallery… Le journal des Bleus



From our special correspondent in Bucharest,

Come on this time, we’re there, it’s D-Day for our Blues, who face Switzerland in the round of 16 in a few laps of the clock. We are not going to play alphorn with you, with two papers to write on Sunday evening so that you can accompany the coffee and croissants this Monday morning, we did not even have time to attend the quarter of an hour training which was open to the media. But that will not prevent us from taking a short tour of the news in the privacy of the France team.

On paper, a system that does not make you dream

The rumor will soon be no more. Barring a nuclear disaster, Didier Deschamps should align a team with 6 or 7 defensive players – including 5 central defenders by profession, pompédup Didier! – against the Nati. What we understand less, however, is why opt for such a system if Lucas Hernandez is able to start the meeting on the left. So it’s all good for Lenglet, who we would never have thought to see in the field for a single minute during this Euro. Starting from this 3-5-2 on the other hand, sorry but don’t count on us to promise you a big show in Bucharest on Monday night. And god knows we would like to be wrong, but we know too well our national DD.

Towards three packages against the Swiss

The boss himself announced by videoconference on Sunday evening, “Lucas Digne, Marcus Thuram and probably Jules Koundé will not be available”. During the training the day before the match, played in the National Arena where a maximum of 26,900 people can take place on Monday, Digne and Koundé cycled on an exercise bike at the edge of the field. Both players suffered a thigh injury on Wednesday against Portugal at the end of the group stage. Also injured, Thursday in training, Thuram and Thomas Lemar were content to trot without forcing.

Pogba treats, Presko hides the party

On the other hand, history does not say how many attempts it took for Paulo to succeed in such a control, which was forbidden to under 18s.

The program of the day

Nada, walou, damn it. Finally, until the kickoff of the match at 9 p.m., to follow of course on our site from 8 p.m.
