The day after their victory (1-0) at the expense of Germany in Munich when they entered the competition for the Euro, the Habs trained on Wednesday at the Bayern Munich campus.
Training had been set for 3 p.m., the kick-off time for their second meeting this Saturday, June 19 against Hungary in Budapest.
Under a blazing sun, the 15 replacements from France - Germany had the right to a full session.
It began with an individual and then collective warm-up, before two toros, one at 8, the other at 7. Then this group of 15 participated in a giant toro before engaging in opposition.
On two-thirds of a half-pitch, and with a goalkeeper on each side (Mandanda and Maignan), the yellows and the blues played an intense match.

- French team ⭐⭐ (@equipedefrance) June 16, 2021
On the sidelines, five holders of the day before have chained laps of the field: Paul Pogba, N'Golo Kanté, Antoine Griezmann, Benjamin Pavard and Adrien Rabiot. They ran for long minutes with Cyril Moine, the physical trainer for the France team. Hugo Lloris then came to run for a few minutes with them. They ended up doing stretching exercises on the lawn. All the other holders of the victory against Germany (Raphaël Varane, Presnel Kimpembe, Lucas Hernandez, Kylian Mbappé and Karim Benzema) first stayed in the room to recover, either on bikes or on the massage tables. Then some went out to join the substitutes, like Hernandez or Mbappé, in white t-shirts and blue sneakers, came to watch the end of the opposition between substitutes.
After the session, Didier Deschamps spoke for a few moments separately with Jules Koundé.
At 4:10 p.m., the Blues returned to the locker room, some ending with strikes in the goal with Griezmann as the keeper.
The Barcelona player ended up asking the staff for gloves and played against the shots from Olivier Giroud and Ousmane Dembélé.
Lunches are now held earlier, again to accommodate the time of the next match.
Hot weather is expected in the Hungarian capital this Saturday.
Les Bleus took off for the Hungarian capital at 6.30 p.m. and will settle in at their hotel around 8.15 p.m. - 8.30 p.m. before going to dinner.
This Thursday, the closed-door training will take place at the same time.
On Saturday, the French team can validate, from the second match, its ticket for the round of 16 by winning against the host country.
