Euro 2024, sensation among the Blues?

If Didier Deschamps already has a precise idea of ​​the list of 23 Blues expected to compete in Euro 2024, one player hopes to create a surprise.

The big meeting is approaching for the French team. In five months, the Blues will fly to Germany to compete in Euro 2024 (from June 14 to July 14). And three years after their incredible elimination in the round of 16 against Switzerland (3-3, 4 tab 5), they will undoubtedly be very vengeful. With which squad will Didier Deschamps try to win the only trophy he is missing at the head of the French selection?

At this stage of the season, the places seem almost all taken and the list of 23 already seems well established. Particularly in midfield, perhaps the sector leaving the least room for doubt. Around Antoine Griezmann, repositioned in the midfield by “DD” during the 2022 World Cup, many players are a priori essential. So Aurélien Tchouameni, Adrien Rabiot and Eduardo Camavinga should be on the trip.

The same goes for Warren Zaire-Emery, whose meteoric rise earned him a first cap and a goal against Gibraltar (14-0) on November 18. For the sixth folding seat, Youssouf Fofana scored points during the last rally and is a step ahead of his pursuers, Boubacar Kamara in the lead. But a surprise guest hopes to play spoilsport and find the A group by next summer.

Veretout has “want to go back”

Selected six times by Didier Deschamps, Jordan Veretout has not played with the Blues since their defeat against Tunisia (1-0), in November 2022, during the first round of the Qatari World Cup. Which doesn’t stop him from believing in his comeback. “Of course it’s a goalproclaims the Marseillais, who will celebrate his 31st birthday on the 1ster next March. When you have already tasted the French team, played in a World Cup, you want to go back. »

“There are also successful players elsewherehe concedes. It’s up to me to give my best, that means excellent matches with OM and why not be called up in June. » If the last call-up of the former Romain at Clairefontaine is not so long ago, he who was selected by Didier Deschamps last June, the hierarchy has since been completely turned upside down by the Warren Zaire-Emery phenomenon. And she will be hard to knock down.
