The Spanish winger was full of praise of Les Bleus who managed to make their way to Euro 2012 quarter-finals as Group D runners up.
Vicente Del Bosque’s charges take on the challenge of Les Bleus in Euro 2012 quarter-finals, with winger Jesus Navas impressed with the work done by Laurent Blanc.
Navas claimed that any team which has progressed to the knockout stages can cause problems for their rivals, and the best strategy for Spain in this situation is to focus on their own preparations.
While analysing the French threat, the Sevilla attacker opined that La Roja will have to be wary of France, who will come out on the Donbass Arena pitch to win the affair.
Navas took out time to talk about the French team’s defence, which has come out under severe criticism after their match against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sweden-c3015. The Andalusian winger hailed the defensive unit for their fighting spirit, and believes they have enough quality to keep
them at bay.
Continuing on the topic, he especially picked out France’s attacking players, highlighting that their pace on counter attack will cause problems for them.
"Every team can make things difficult for you," he noted. "We only have to think about ourselves.”
"http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 will go out trying to win the match. Their defence is strong, just like their midfield. They have quick players to play on the counter and we will have to be very careful."
The Spanish winger also took out time to talk about the criticism laid down on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Del Bosque’s charges for their less than spectacular performances in the group stages.
Navas played down the importance of negative feedback La Roja have received over the last couple of days and stated that they are only concentrating on their matches.
"We are distancing ourselves from that criticism," Navas said during a press conference. "We are only thinking about football, about going through and about what happens on the pitch.”
"We are confident, we were first in the group. There is a lot of desire and confidence about going very far in the tournament.”
"It is key to remain calm for big matches and we are on the right path."
