Since last week, the eyes of French football fans have been fixed on Clairefontaine, where the band in Didier Deschamps is preparing the Euro. But this Monday is at
Budapest that the future of another selection will be decided. Sylvain Ripoll’s Bleuets challenge the Netherlands in the quarter-finals of the European Under-21 Championship,
a competition cut in two this year due to pandemic.
From Reine-Adélaïde and Guendouzi (wounded) to Koundé (called in A) via Lafont and Kolo Muani (stayed in Nantes because of L1-L2 roadblocks), the absent are numerous. But the reservoir is rich enough to simmer a training course, and afford to leave Camavinga or Caqueret on the bench. If successful, the young French will face the winners of Denmark-Germany, Thursday still in Hungary. The final is scheduled for Sunday in Ljubljana, the Slovenian capital.
»Because you are eager (even if you do not dare to admit it) to attend the duel between Parisians Dagba and Bakker, we will meet again at 5:50 pm
