Following his team’s 2-1 win over Germany at the Weserstadion, France national team coach, Laurent Blanc, has said that the win does not change anything as Les Bleus still have a lot of work to do for Euro 2012
The victory in Germany presents two statistics for France: first, Les Bleus are now unbeaten against Germany for almost 25 years, but more importantly, the win takes http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 to 18 games without a defeat which is quite an achievement for a team that was on
the barricade a few years ago.
The performance at the Weserstadion showed a lot of maturity especially against one of the giants of football.
Though the win pleases coach Laurent Blanc, the former Bordeaux tactician has chosen to remain cautious.
The Frenchman admits that he enjoyed the game but added that his team needs to improve defensively. Blanc chose to talk about the 2-0 win over Bosnia as the reference where the team lacked consistency both individually and collectively. However, the France
tactician says that the players showed their ability to evolve during the game against Germans.
Beating Germany is no mean feat especially when you do it in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904. And Blanc knows that it will give a lot of confidence to the players as wins in friendlies do count for other things if not points.
“Prestige matches like these allow us to have motivation to go on top and play like we have not done for a long time. But that does not change the work we do.”
However, Blanc has asked everyone to keep their feet on the ground because he knows that Les Bleus can’t win games all the time.
Given the technical superiority of the likes of Mesut Ozil, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marco-Reus-c23733, many though that French were in for a hammering. Certainly the France team is not many people’s favourites to lift the European Championship. However, things could
change with the win over Germany who are favourites to win the tournament co-hosted by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032.
The game has also given an idea about which players should be given the ticket for the tournament and Blanc would indeed use the win in Bremen as a platform to a good Euro 2012.
