After Italy, Belgium and the Netherlands, there is another national team that aims, without many words or tactics, to qualify for the round of 16 of Euro 2020 with one day in advance. It is the France of Didier Deschamps, who here wants to make up for the disappointment of the European at home five years ago and then go all the way. Perhaps removing the thought of the group stage with Hungary in that Puskas which promises to be hot not only for the temperature, which in Budapest is close to 30 degrees, but also for the presence of 60 thousand (in Hungary there are no restrictions for the public ) spectators who promise to go wild to push their team. That deserves respect, even Premier Viktor Orban underlined and reiterated on the eve of the Italian coach, and Hungarian by adoption, Marco Rossi.He still hasn't digested the way his side lost to Portugal, taking three goals in the final minutes, but he has to look forward. "From a psychological point of view, losing in that way may have left scars - Rossi's words - but we must erase them and focus on this challenge. We will not complain about what has been, but we will recover and show our audience what it is. we know how to do ". But this will not make it an easy task.but we will recover and show our audience what we can do. "But that won't make it an easy task.but we will recover and show our audience what we can do. "But that won't make it an easy task.
"On the contrary, quite the contrary - agrees the Hungarian coach -, it will be very complicated: let's say that France is worth € 900 million and us 6. France is my favorite for the final victory, Mbappé is a formidable striker and other great players. But we don't give up, even if they think about how to get to the end and we will go to the three matches of the first phase and then we'll see. "
Rossi himself, who will not change his 3-5-2 which includes, among others, the presence of Parisian Loic Négo, who will face the national team of his country of origin ("it will be an incredible emotion, with them I won the European under 19 in 2010. Griezmann was my roommate, we were always together and it will be strange to find him as an opponent "), is according to Deschamps the secret of this Hungary. "The Hungarian team is a solid and well-structured team - underlines the world champion coach -, and I believe that this has a lot to do with his Italian coach. In addition, he will have the additional motivation to face us and will play in front of his fans. which will give him that extra energy in the important moments of the match. However, we are happy to play in a full stadium, it is a signal and is what football needs. "Certainly the Bleus coach will not make a turn over, he makes it clear without saying it and, barring last-minute surprises, he will field the same starting lineup seen against Germany, with Griezmann who will be in his 50th consecutive appearance under the leadership. of the former Juventus player. "He is no longer 20 years old and has had some physical problems - says the coach -, but for us he remains very important: go and see his statistics".
