After seeing his side held to a 1-1 draw by a plucky http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032
Despite all the possession and all the chances, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 unfortunately, left the Donbass Arena with just a point to show for all their dominance and efforts. Clearly, Les Bleus were the better side of the two and it was only last-ditch defending by the English
that denied them of three points.
This morning at a press conference, Laurent Blanc answered the questions of the journalists who were as baffled as he was over how things turned out.
Blanc says that there are times when you should win but you don’t. Blanc also added that he wanted to inject new blood into the heart of the game because this was something France has been missing for some time.
Many people were not happy to see Laurent Blanc ignore Olivier Giroud late in the game.
“It was not easy for Olivier to deal with Terry and Lescott. We preferred to bring Hatem for his qualities in small areas.”
The Cevennes native was also obliged to defend star striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Karim-Benzema-c20350 who was slightly scratched by critics after the game.
“Playing against a team as regrouped as England is not easy for a centre forward. The attacker still needed a little space.”
However, after an indifferent start to the game, Les Bleus did manage to turn things around and took the game to England. And, despite a result that is not a very favourable one, Blanc says that he will make a few tactical changes for the game against Ukraine
but says that he will not the change the philosophy.
“They will be in a euphoric state after their win against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sweden-c3015. We are confident even though we know that it will be complicated. We will try to prepare mentally. We will not change our philosophy.”
On Friday, June 18, France will play against Shevchenko and co and a draw would not be a suitable result this time around.
