The World Cup is already tomorrow, with a curtain-raiser expected on June 11 and beforehand the announcement of a French list that Didier Deschamps, the national coach, will unveil on Thursday, May 14. For the Blues, in fact, serious things will begin on June 16. By a tough duel with Senegal.
This will be a formidable start, facing the fallen African champions. A perfectly balanced and structured team, heavily armed in each sector of the game and capable of shaking up Kylian Mbappé and others. Lamine Camara, the AS Monaco midfielder, makes no secret of it.
Counting among the great architects of the successful run of the Lions of Teranga in Morocco this winter, the person concerned has already taken care to warn his Monegasque teammate and French international Maghnes Akliouche, here in comments relayed by RMC: “
Sometimes we tease each other in the locker room or in training. When I hit him, I tell him: “Get ready for the World Cup.” »
“Ready to face any team”
With full confidence, the Senegalese know they are capable of repeating the great performance of their elders, executioners of the Blues during the 2002 World Cup (0-1). “ Right now we are ready to face any team. We believe in it with all the talent we have in Senegal. We have everything we need: experience, youth… Everything to win the Cup! You have to be ambitious and why not go and get this trophy. »
The French team certainly cannot be too wary of these long-toothed Lions. Especially since the Tricolores will also have to face the Norway of a certain Erling Haaland on the road to the 16e of final. Beware of overconfidence!
