The Former Paris Saint-Germain midfielder has warned Les Bleus not to diverge from their natural game against Spain and has called for a change in players’ attitude following their shocking loss to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sweden-c3015
France were thrashed by Sweden in their last group-match and Ginola believes that the French failed to impose themselves in the game because they changed their game plan. The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 international is of the view that Laurent Blanc’s men were very defensive
in the match and that resulted in their failure.
The 45-year-old has stressed that France must stick to their style of play and Les Bleus should not try to copy http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 in the Champions League.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 have struggled against defensive teams in recent times but Ginola believes that France should avoid such tactics as they don’t have players who can stop La Roja from scoring in the match.
"It's not possible to adopt a style of play similar to the one that won Chelsea the Champions League [semi-final] against Barcelona. We don't have the players capable of doing that."
The former France international believes that Les Bleus have quality players in the squad who can help France beat Spain in the quarter-finals.
"We have the quality to lift ourselves up against Spain, but the players must want to do so. I would play with two wingers like [Franck] Ribery or [Jeremy] Menez as we did against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032.”
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-c10409 Ginola said that players were playing more individual game against Sweden that resulted in failure to score against an already-eliminated Sweden side. France have the technique and quality to beat the reigning champions and Laurent Blanc’s men need
to change their attitude against a much tougher team in the shape of Spain.
The Frenchman slammed media for spreading rumours against the players and claimed that such news is detrimental to players’ morale and should be avoided. Ginola said that France are still very much in the tournament and the criticism can wait until after
the game against Spain.
Spain and France will take on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 in the semi-finals.
