24 hours before his entry into the Euro, the captain of the France team Hugo Lloris (34) was confident but also cautious before this first shock in the competition between the last two world champions in Munich. “The France - Germany bring back good and bad memories, they are great classics in major competitions, indicates the goalkeeper of the Blues who will celebrate his 126th selection this Tuesday evening. It is above all an important match in a very tough hen. We are the reigning world champions and the Germans are in a phase of reconstruction. But their players play in the big clubs. We expect a very difficult game. "
Asked about the affair between Olivier Giroud and Kylian Mbappé, the captain gave his opinion.
"It made more noise outside than internally," says the former Lyonnais.
The two had an explanation the next day.
There have been small differences, but these are things that happen.
It did not affect the collective.
Kylian needed to speak up.
It is now behind us.
"
Hugo Lloris has also confirmed that the Blues will drop to one knee before kick-off.
"Yes, it is planned", announced the captain of the Blues.

Eriksen's discomfort: "Images that you don't want to see on a field"
Like all football fans, the Tottenham goalkeeper was marked by the discomfort of his former teammate Christian Eriksen. “We learned of his discomfort after training. There is a lot of worry and stress, but we were quickly reassured of his condition, he says. These are images that we do not want to see on the ground. I want to highlight the personality of the Danish and Finnish players and supporters. They were able to manage this event with dignity and solidarity. What happened affected world football. The most important thing is that Christian is in good condition. "
In the pool of death (with Hungary and Portugal), France should not be missed for its entry into the competition. It can count on its trio of attack without equivalent on the planet football. “They are very high level players who have been regular for several years. Mbappé is younger than Benzema and Griezmann but he has already done great things, he says. I understand that there is fear among our opponents. But if we want to achieve a big result, we will need to have great collective strength and be well balanced on the pitch. "
