INTERVIEW

After the 2018 World Cup, will the Blues lift the Euro 2020 trophy?

While French players Kingsley Coman and Corentin Tolisso said France had "the best team in the world" ahead of this competition, Europe 1 asked you this question.

And the result is particularly tight.

Friday at the end of the day, you were about 52% to estimate that the men of Didier Deschamps would achieve the double.

Conversely, 48% of respondents saw the tricolors fail to win the title during this Euro.

"Lots of outsiders"

"When you are vice-champions of Europe and reigning world champions, you are inevitably one of the favorites," commented Aline Riera, former international for the France team and new football consultant for Europe 1, on Friday in the 'Europe 1 football club broadcast.

"Afterwards, there are other very good teams as well, such as England, Belgium, Italy, Portugal and the Germans who are coming back in force," she however qualified.

"So that's a lot of outsiders."

But for Aline Riera, one thing is certain, "for the French, you have to have the ambition to go to the end".

The label contender for the title, even favorite, therefore seems indisputable for the Blues.

For the former French international Alain Giresse, who also spoke on Europe 1 on Friday, "it is the case", the Blues inevitably act as a scarecrow of the competition with their five-star attack, consisting of Mbappé, Giroud , Griezmann and Benzema.

"We can not prevent it, we are world champions", also justified the winner of Euro 1984. While being careful not to say that the Euro was won so far.

"They are expected by all the teams"

"It's quite rare to have such a strong group," he also observed, while the Blues will actually have to extract themselves initially from a group in which the champion is also located. Reigning Europe, Portugal, and the strong team from Germany.

However, the French do not always start their competitions with a bang.

At the 2018 World Cup, the first matches "were indeed very sluggish", remembers Alain Giresse.

Guest of the Turkey-Italy pre-match on Friday on Europe 1, the former player of AJ Auxerre and former French international Philippe Mexès stressed an ultimate risk for the Blues: "They are expected by all the teams."
