The Blues are on their way to the round of 16 of the Euro! A mixed victory, while in three matches, France has only scored one “real” goal, against Poland. But with a draw, France could only claim second place in their group, which is far from doing the Blues’ business.
A difficult table
Thus, they found themselves in the most difficult part of the table, with potentially a round of 16 against Belgium, a reunion with Portugal in the quarter-finals and a semi-final against Germany or Spain.
The Blues will therefore have to raise their level of play if they want to beat the European leaders who will come their way. But the president of the French Football Federation, Philippe Diallo, is not worried and believes the French are capable of going very far. “Like all Euros, everything is tight. We will have to be super concentrated and above all play at our top level every round. So the objectives remain exactly the same because the players have not changed. They are always very good players that we have”, he assures at the microphone of Europe 1.
Survey the competition
“The collective objective is to reach at least the semi-final,” he confides. This Wednesday, the French will rest in Paderborn. And for the first time, players will welcome their families to their base camp for a welcome time of rest.
And Didier Deschamps’ men will closely follow, this Wednesday from 6 p.m., the matches of their potential opponents in the round of 16. They will face either Belgium, Slovakia, Ukraine or Romania. A round of 16 which will take place next Monday in Düsseldorf.
