While talking to the media, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 national team manager, Laurent Blanc, said that it is good to have players like Giroud and Valbuena in his side as they know how to perform in adversity
As things stand, Montpellier Herault are in second place in the Ligue 1 standings and chase Paris Saint-Germain by just two points.
La Paillade are well-placed to feature in the UEFA Champions League for the first time next season. Much of this rise has been attributed to the lethal strikes of striker Olivier Giroud. The Frenchman has scored 17 goals in the Ligue 1 this campaign – a
tally that has earned him a few international caps for France.
In an international friendly win over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 at the Weserstadion, Giroud scored Les Bleus’ first goal and many people feel that Laurent Blanc will take the striker with him at the Euros.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127. Les Phoceens are finding it hard to get the required results and could altogether miss out on European football for next season. Despite his side’s woeful form, the diminutive
midfielder has been in good form for both club and country.
Currently, Valbuena is at the top of the assists charts in the Ligue 1 and his form has impressed France national team manager Laurent Blanc. The former Bordeaux coach feels that the two players have the capacity to do well under tough circumstances which
is a good thing.
“He only has to see his path. Mathieu knows how he got to that level and has responded positively. This is a very good thing. There was much talk of Olivier Giroud after the game (at Bremen), but the one player that I found very good was Mathieu who did
exactly what I had asked. He played as a proper number 10.”
Laurent Blanc also took some time out to warn Olivier Giroud not to get complacent. The French tactician says that his performance against Germany did earn him some points but that does not mean he should take his foot off the pedal. Constantly asking for
more from his team, Blanc is still far away from naming his 23-man squad.
