With two wins in two games, the France Espoirs team has made a perfect start to the Euro. But, the training of Sylvain Ripoll still raises questions about his true level and the intentions of the coach.
The French Espoirs beat Norway (1-0) on Sunday evening in the Euro U21, and the Tricolores are first in their group ahead of Italy and Switzerland. On paper, the balance sheet of the training led by Sylvain Ripoll is spot on, except that supporters and observers have a hard time getting excited about a very brilliant training on paper. And, once again, all eyes are on the French coach, who made many changes against Norway, which challenged a lot of people. For Pierre Bouby, it is clear that the Ripoll style is difficult to understand, and that does not date from this Euro. For the former player, you still have to ask yourself questions.

Even if the French Hopes are progressing calmly in this Euro, Pierre Bouby really has doubts about a final victory for Sylvain Ripoll’s players in this competition. ” This team lacks ambition, it lacks binding. There is no preferential scheme. We see that the coach’s project is to stay solid and try to find a solution through talent. Personally, I find it disturbing, because there are still talented players on the pitch. I don’t see the point of evolving like that. If I challenge the coach? Yes, and me, I’ve even been questioning it for a while “Launched, on the set of L’Equipe du Soir, the former player, quickly supported by Ludovic Obraniak, who also wonders about the French project. In any case, this Wednesday evening, France will have the opportunity to validate its ticket for the quarter-finals of the Euro in the event of a draw or victory against Switzerland.
