Composition des équipes de France contre Espagne : le onze prévu pour la demi-finale de l’Euro 2024

Composition des équipes de France contre Espagne : le onze prévu pour la demi-finale de l’Euro 2024

Deschamps face à un dilemme au milieu de terrain : la composition prévue de l’équipe de France contre l’Espagne
Après s’être qualifiée pour les demi-finales de l’Euro 2024, la France va désormais rivaliser avec son voisin espagnol pour une place dans la finale décisive du Championnat d’Europe de dimanche.

Les Bleus ont atteint le dernier carré grâce à une victoire tendue aux tirs au but contre le Portugal, dans un match qui a vu le capitaine inspirant Kylian Mbappé se retirer avant la fin de la prolongation.

Déjà gêné par une fin de saison décousue au Paris Saint-Germain, Mbappé n’est plus que l’ombre de lui-même depuis sa blessure au nez contre l’Autriche, le port d’un masque de protection semblant le gêner encore plus.

Malgré un nouveau coup dur face au Portugal, l’attaquant du Real Madrid devrait à nouveau être titulaire en attaque, avec Marcus Thuram, Randal Kolo Muani et Ousmane Dembélé espérant tous figurer dans le casting de soutien de leur capitaine.

Egalement en dessous de son meilleur niveau cet été, la star basée en Espagne Antoine Griezmann devrait encore jouer un rôle dans le dernier tiers, et une 17e participation au Championnat d’Europe lui permettrait de dépasser Lilian Thuram – père de Marcus – en tant que détenteur du record de matchs en finale continentale pour la France.

Contrairement au sélectionneur espagnol Luis de la Fuente, qui verra deux hommes clés suspendus mardi, le sélectionneur français Didier Deschamps n’a pas de telles inquiétudes et peut même accueillir le retour d’Adrien Rabiot après une suspension d’un match.

Eduardo Camavinga pourrait donc laisser sa place, tandis qu’Aurélien Tchouameni et N’Golo Kanté semblent s’être imposés comme titulaires intouchables au milieu de terrain.

Il est très peu probable qu’une défense à quatre stable, dirigée par William Saliba d’Arsenal, change, et le numéro un des Bleus est certainement incontesté.

Le gardien de l’AC Milan Mike Maignan a réalisé quelques arrêts importants en quart de finale et est en lice pour l’équipe du tournoi de l’UEFA, même si aucun prix de « Gant d’Or » n’existe actuellement à l’Euro.

Composition possible de l’équipe de France : Maignan, Koundé, Saliba, Upamecano, Hernandez, Kanté, Tchouameni, Rabiot, Griezmann, Kolo Muani, Mbappe

SPAIN MUST LEARN KEY LESSONS BEFORE FRANCE GAME

Spain scraped past Germany in the quarter-final of the Euro 2024 but must take on some important lessons before they play France on Tuesday.

It took a 119th minute winner from Mikel Merino for Spain to crush German hearts and book their place in the semi-final. Despite Spain’s brilliance in the tournament so far, they were only seconds away from the game going to penalties, one of their clear weaknesses. By contrast, Germany haven’t lost a penalty shootout in 46 years and on home soil, you wouldn’t have bet against them.
Spain have probably been the best team at this tournament and they have constantly played high up the pitch, pressed, and looked threatening. To deal with their style of play, Germany employed the dark arts from kick off and the game was often stopped for free kicks. Spain were therefore unable to really get going. France will likely look to attempt a similar game-plan and try to stifle La Roja.

him. Dani Olmo, one of his potential replacements for the next game, was by contrast absolutely superb and won the player of the match award.

De la Fuente may opt for Olmo or Ferran Torres ahead of Joselu, due to France’s defence being so good that conventional strikers have so far struggled to make any impact against them. The game against Germany was undoubtedly Spain’s toughest so far and they will face another difficult game against the French.

Manchester City now considering £59m midfielder who Manchester United bid for this weekend

Manchester United might be looking to make a few new signings but they could face issues from the old enemy in Manchester City for one top target.

Both City and United are keen to strengthen their squads but so far, with the Euros going on, things have been relatively quiet in Manchester.

The Red Devils are yet to get going this summer but there are claims they are about to get busy in the market.

Joshua Zirkzee is set to sign from Bologna, while a deal for Matthijs de Ligt is also being pursued.

However, when it comes to signing a midfielder to bolster the ranks, it looks like United may have to fend off local rivals City.

Manchester City considering Joao Neves after Manchester United bid
Reports this weekend have claimed that United have made a move to sign Benfica star Neves.

It’s suggested the Red Devils have launched a £59m bid for the young midfielder who is one of the most in-demand young players in Europe.

However, a report from Portuguese outlet O’Jogo now claims that Man City are also in the mix for Neves.

Their report says Neves features on a list City have as they consider their options for if the likes of Kevin de Bruyne or Bernardo Silva depart.

Benfica are believed to value Neves at closer to the £100m mark so it seems likely the £59m offer from United will be rejected.

City, of course, have strong relations with the Portuguese market having signed the likes of Ruben Dias, Bernardo Silva and Ederson in the past.

For Neves, a move to City could be more appealing to him right now than United.

Champions League football, being in the mix for titles, and the chance to work with Pep Guardiola are all tempting factors.

United, then, will be hoping City go cold on Neves if they want to get their own deal over the line.

Spain or France? Netherlands manager Ronald Koeman reveals who he wants to avoid in Euro 2024 final

Ronald Koeman says he would rather see his Netherlands side play Spain instead of France in the Euro 2024 final.

The Netherlands came from behind to beat Turkey 2-1 in their quarter final on Saturday evening, which has set up a semi-final tie against England at 8pm on Wednesday.

In the other Euro 2024 semi final on Tuesday night, Spain will play France to decide who will reach the final on July 14.

The Netherlands drew 0-0 with France in their second game in Group D on June 21 and for that reason, Koeman admits he would prefer to play Spain in the final if his team manage to beat England in the semis.

‘I think for the whole nation it’s something special,’ Koeman said after the Netherlands’ win against Turkey.

‘We are a small nation and we are part of the semi final with England, France and Spain and we are really proud to get the opportunity to play in the semi final on Wednesday.

‘We had to suffer tonight [against Turkey] but that’s the whole Euro, there is not an easy one.

‘First of all, we need to fight first to win the semi final.

‘I think in life it’s not the question when something happens, it will be a great night on Wednesday between two big nations, history wise.

‘If we play in the final, my personal preference, of course, is Spain because we had France in the group.

Koeman also played down suggestions that extra time and penalties against Switzerland will cause extra fatigue for England ahead of the semi final.

‘If you win the match that always gives a good feeling,’ Koeman said.

‘We need to recover, like England. It is not a physical difference between them and us.

‘We played on the same day, we need to travel like them. It is not the physical [aspect] that will decide the result.’

Jermaine Jenas accused Rio Ferdinand of lying in an awkward exchange between the two pundits during France’s victory against Portugal at Euro 2024.

Les Bleus knocked out Cristiano Ronaldo and Co in a dramatic penalty shootout last night after Joao Felix saw his effort, the only miss, hit the woodwork.

Both sides missed several chances in a tense goalless stalemate but Ferdinand highlighted Saliba’s performance, insisting it was worthy of being ‘marvelled at’.

Saliba impressed for Arsenal during the 2023-24 season and has been ever-present under Didier Deschamps at international level after belatedly breaking through.

Jenas, however, believes the centre back was not tested enough by Portugal.

‘The way he has commanded that box and any individual battle he has and any duel he is having he is coming out on top. He’s just looked so formidable and so commanding.

‘For somebody so young, in his first tournament, to show this kind of authority, I think is something to marvel at.’

Jenas then replied: ‘I think this is a stretch. There’s not been any real players put under major pressure to defend.’

Looking to press home his case, Ferdinand added: ‘I think three balls have been put into the box and he’s headed them out of the penalty box.

‘That’s something you have to do. You think that’s just normal stuff, you see a lot of people not doing it, you still have to do it.’

That, in turn, prompted Jenas to accuse him of lying.

‘That’s a lie. That is a lie,’ Jenas said.

‘There’s only one person who defenders call on when they’re in trouble, and it’s a midfielder.’

Les Bleus will play Spain in the semi-finals after the latter beat hosts Germany, Mikel Merino heading home an extra-time winner in the 119th minute.

Ousmane Dembele’s attitude to France penalties speaks volumes about Euro 2024 chances

Ousmane Dembele insists he was always confident goal-shy France would get the better of Portugal despite their dreadful recent penalty shootout record – even though some of the players stepping up had never taken a spot kick before.

France set up a last four meeting with Spain at the Euros after pipping the Portuguese in Hamburg, where Joao Felix’s strike against the post proved crucial. Didier Deschamps’ side scored a perfect five out of five from the spot just days after Portugal goalkeeper Diogo Costa had saved all three Slovenia kicks he faced in the last-16 shootout.

The win marked France’s first penalty success since they beat Italy en route to winning the 1998 World Cup, when Deschamps was captain. It was a sorry run which had included defeats in the 2006 and 2022 World Cup finals and elimination from Euro 2020 at the hands of Switzerland.

Gary Lineker doesn’t hold back with brutal verdict on Joao Felix’s penalty miss
With Kylian Mbappe off the pitch still struggling with the after-effects of the broken nose he suffered in France’s first match against Austria, it was livewire substitute Dembele – who admitted he was “stung” not to start the game – who took their first kick.

He slotted home effortlessly, and said he always felt he would do. “We had practised penalties and felt confident going into them,” said Dembele.

“The Qatar World Cup final loss helped us in that respect. I think we all took the goalkeeper by surprise because we sent him the wrong way.”

Dembele was always confident France would prevail ( Image: UEFA via Getty Images)
In contrast to their coolness from the spot, France have scored just three goals in their five games in Germany, with two of those being own goals scored by the opposition and the third a penalty netted by Mbappe against Poland. But an unrepentant Dembele isn’t concerned.

“That’s how it is,” he said. “We play like that, those who are not happy, that’s not my problem.

“We’ve scored three goals but we are here in the semi-finals. It is the solidity of this team that means we are still here today.”

As he seeks to solve the problems in front of goal, Deschamps might have just found some unlikely goalscorers.

As well as Mbappe, Antoine Griezmann had also been substituted against Portugal, while Olivier Giroud wasn’t introduced from the bench in time.

That all made for a fairly inexperienced set of penalty takers, with defender Jules Kounde and 21-year-old attacker Bradley Barcola having never taken a senior competitive penalty before either in matches or shootouts.

For Barcelona defender Kounde the fact that Spain are up next makes the victory all the sweeter. “I’m looking forward to it. There will be some familiar faces against me. I’m happy they’ve qualified,” he said.

“They’re playing well and have a team that is both capable of holding possession and taking it without giving it up. Above all, we’ll have to recover well after this tough match.

“They’ll be a playful opponent, and they like to exploit space and with dangerous wingers, including Lamine Yamal, who I know well. They’re a complete team. We’ll have to bring the same intensity. And score.”

Pep Guardiola’s name was playfully booed as he took his seat at Wimbledon on Saturday.

Guardiola was one of a host of sporting stars watching Centre Court from the Royal Box as he enjoyed his penultimate weekend of the summer before Manchester City return for pre-season next week.

And according to BBC Sport, when Guardiola took his seat and City’s four consecutive Premier League titles with Manchester City were announced, there were a ‘few boos’ from the crowd on Centre Court ahead of the clash between Brit Cameron Norrie and German Alexander Zverev. There were also plenty of cheers in a good-natured atmosphere.

Guardiola attended the All England Club alongside wife Cristina, and was present alongside former England manager Roy Hodgson – the pair holding a strong relationship from their battles in the Premier League over recent seasons. England women’s captain Leah Williamson was also in the Royal Box, alongside England cricket trio Joe Root, Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler – plus India legend Sachin Tendulkar.

Man City line up £105m Kevin De Bruyne replacement as Real Madrid star added to shortlist
A range of Olympic legends including Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill, Sir Chris Hoy, Sir Jason Kenney, Dame Laura Kenny, Sir Ben Ainslie, Adam Peaty, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean were in the royal box, along with Paralympic athletes Hannah Cockroft and Kadeena Cox. Rugby Union’s Lawrence Dallaglio and Sir Gareth Edwards took their seats in a star-studded, sporting-themed group.

Guardiola has often spoken of his love for tennis, describing the final three points needed to win a title similar to the Championship point at Wimbledon being the toughest point to win. He has often described City’s battles with Liverpool as like the three-way battle between Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, with each rival pushing the other to be better.

He spoke this year of Federer and Nadal being his inspirations, saying: “There is one detail that defines them, it is how hard they work. People believing when you are on top of any sport, it is [due to] talents and skills. But what would define [them] is they work harder than the other ones, they prepare better than the other ones. They are the best.

“They are never satisfied and how they accept the bad moments or the defeats like it’s normal in life, in a sport and how to win the games and how they accept they are nervous or they are playing bad, how they come back immediately.”
