Every day, the morning of Europe 1 looks back on one of the sporting events that make the news.
This Tuesday, Virginie Phulpin is interested in the entry of the Blues in the competition against the Germans.
According to her, it's a very good thing to start against the Mannschaft but the France team should still be wary.
The Blues enter into contention for the Euro. They face Germany in Munich tonight. A strong opponent to begin with, it must be said that the France team fell into "the group of death", as they say, the most relieved of the competition, with Portugal and Hungary. For Virginie Phulpin, there is nothing better than starting the Euro with a match against Germany.
In any case, we are not going to make the calimos by whining that it is too unfair.
We've been on our teeth for three weeks, waiting for it to start, so you might as well skip the appetizers and bite into the main course right away.
Are we world champions or not?
Since we keep repeating that France scares all of Europe in football, we are not going to transform the sentence into "France is afraid" a few hours before entering the running.
To have an opponent of this quality and with all the liabilities between the two teams over the decades is the best thing possible.
It avoids procrastination, you have to be competitive directly, and then it allows you to whistle the end of recess.
Olivier, Kylian, we had a good laugh, you've been looking for lice in your head these last few days, and it's not very serious, in any case we hope so.
Finally everyone said what they had to say, from Giroud to Mbappé, and it allows any abscesses to burst before it starts.
Now, opposite, it's Germany, so we're getting back on track, and it's time to prove that ultimately, the group is living well as they say.
The players have shown that they have ego, pride, and respondent, we understand.
But the Euro is not a competition of eloquence or a game of "it is whoever says it who is there", it is on the ground that the Mannschaft awaits you, it is time to trade small sentences against small bridges.
This German team, we will still avoid taking it lightly
It is a selection in reconstruction, of course. But she will play in Munich, in front of her audience. History has shown us that you shouldn't have fun underestimating German football, it hits you in two crampons. Especially since these Germans have the art of getting you into the bath without getting your neck wet.
Center-back Antonio Rüdiger has decided to spice up this confrontation a little further with his statements with both feet off the ground.
"On paper, the Blues are stronger, he said. But it's only paper. We should not hesitate to play dirty, to send a message."
Ah ok, he takes it like that.
Is this self-persuasion or a threat?
If he wanted to bring out once again the images of Schumacher who knocked out Battiston in 1982, it was successful.
We will never get rid of this trauma of Seville!
This is yet another reason for the Blues to want to jump into battle head-on.
As its name suggests, the Allianz Arena in Munich is indeed an arena.
