“L’Opinion Sports” has prepared for its loyal readers a series of articles which will take them to the heart of this event whose prestige has become comparable to that of the World Cup.
Today we will introduce you to groups D, E and F.
Group D France: the super favorite
To carry out this campaign, Didier Deschamps called on Ngolo Kanté again in addition to his stars such as the new captain, Kylian Mbappé, Antoine Griezmann, Dembélé and the veteran Olivier Giroud (37 years old). He also relies on his usual 4-3-3 tactical pattern and his pistons Benjamin Pavard and Ibrahima Konaté.
Is the presence of these stars enough to end this 24-year drought?
Holland: like the good old days
The coach, Ronald Koeman, relies heavily on a solid defense where we find the backbone Virgil Van Dijk (Liverpool), Mathis De Lights (Bayer Munich). Young Xavi Simons leads the attack line, who shone with Leipzig with 10 goals scored and 14 assists.
Can this generation make us forget that of Van Basten in 1988?
Austria: the outsider
This Austria, which appears as an outsider, counts heavily on many renowned players such as Marcel Sabitzer, finalist of the Champions League with Dortmund, Xaver Schlager (Leipzig), Alexander Sclager (Salzburg) and the veteran Marko Arnautovic (Inter Milan ).
Poland: looking good
Only 3rd in their qualifying group, the Poles qualified at the last minute via the play-offs. The selection led by Robert Lewandowski seems very limited to go far in this Euro. At 36 years old, will this player who led his country to the eighth at the Qatari World Cup manage to lead them to another epic?
