DIRECT. Euro 2024: the Blues and Mbappé in training… follow Sunday

Switzerland, second, faces Germany, first, to take the lead in Group A, while Scotland and Hungary challenge each other for third place. These two matches will be played at 9 p.m.

While his country will play for a potential qualification in the round of 16 of the Euro for the first time in its history against Spain on Monday, the Albanian was suspended on Sunday for two matches for his behavior and “a demonstration of an unsporting nature » at the end of the match against Croatia (2-2) at Euro 2024, UEFA announced in a press release.

The strike exercise is now over for the French attackers. Kylian Mbappé, very vocal in his reactions, ended with a double and a miss.

The French midfielder appeared on the pitch in shorts and flip flops but did not train with the group.

The Frenchman removed his mask and continued his striking exercises. Overall, the Blues were not very successful with very few goals scored.

The French striker seems to have several masks up his sleeve and sometimes changes. He missed a lot of chances in front of goal but managed to score two goals afterwards.

Some starters returned to the facilities while Kylian Mbappé remained on the pitch and did offensive exercises with cross combinations with Giroud, Barcola, Kolo Muani and Zaire-Emery.

With two victories in as many matches, Germany has already booked its ticket for the round of 16 of the Euro and can make a splash against Switzerland for the first time since… 1966.

The Frenchman entered the pitch with his teammates to train wearing his black mask. He takes part in jogging led by Cyril Moine, the physical trainer.

For his part, Camavinga is absent from the session for the moment.

As a reminder, the four best third-placed teams will qualify for the round of 16 of the Euro, at the end of the 3rd day of the group stages which starts this Sunday.

First supposed to train on Monday in Dortmund at Signal Iduna Park, the France team will finally train at 11 a.m. at the Paderborn stadium. An option chosen due to restrictions imposed by UEFA. The body limits the duration of sessions on the pitch of the meeting to 45 minutes, compared to 1 hour usually. A deadline that does not suit the staff of the Blues who are used to setting up 11 against 11 oppositions. The Blues will join Dortmund by bus, and will sleep there the night from Monday to Tuesday.

Next meeting for the French team: training, scheduled for 5:30 p.m. in Paderborn.

“He’s amazing. He has incredible game intelligence. He recovers, he projects, he creates opportunities. He is complete, I have rarely seen a midfielder as complete as him. »

“The atmosphere of an international competition is different. The matches are cleavers. It’s very different from what we know in clubs. It’s very family-friendly, it brings people together, it’s so pleasant to live with. »

“I haven’t been told anything, I’m waiting for the lineup like everyone else. There are 25 of us who want to play, it’s boring but that’s it. We are focused on qualification. If I’m on the bench and we qualify, it’s no problem. »

“He is true to himself, he still works as well. He will gain strength. I find that we judge him harshly, we know his qualities, he got us out of so many troubles. I have no doubts about him. »

“We know Kylian, he is always 100% when he enters the field. I found him very good (during the friendly opposition on Saturday), he got used to his mask. Mentally and physically he is good, he scored, he made people score. Very good Kylian, as usual. »

It’s over for Aurélien Tchouaméni’s press conference. Jonathan Clauss has just taken his place in front of the media.

“The story of the press release? We haven’t talked about it again, it’s a subject that will resurface. I haven’t spoken with the 25 players, I don’t have the arrogance to think we have the same thought because I don’t know. If there is a press release, you will be the first to know. »

“Ousmane, nothing affects him. He’s a world-class player, he initiates most of our actions. He misses things, that’s normal, it’s his game. We’re very happy with what he produces. »

“It’s important to stay optimistic. We create opportunities. We have world-class attackers. They will score and so will we, the midfielders and defenders. Being more clinical in front of goal is an area of ​​progress. »

“With Real, we were in the same situation in pre-season. We saw what it turned out in the end. We must emphasize our defensive solidity, it is essential to win a title. We have no doubt. We will have to make our task easier by converting our opportunities. »

“He’s fine, maybe he slept a little badly because he lost in NBA 2K against Kylian (laughs). He is an essential player for us, the custodian of our game. He is an exceptional player. RAS. »

“We had a discussion with the coach. The goal was to be ready for the second game. I felt very good very quickly. I tried to come back earlier. When I look at N’Golo’s performances, I am the first happy because I want to win this competition. The coach will have choices to make, we’ll see what happens. »

“He wants to play the next match. He is starting to get used to the mask. He would have preferred to do without it. We know he will be ready from the moment he is on the field. »

“He is still playing at a very high level. It’s been a long time since we played together. I had a lot of fun growing with him. I hope things continue to go well throughout the rest of the competition. »

“I share the point of view of Marcus (Thuram) and Kylian (Mbappé). I hate extremes, I share a message of unity. I encourage everyone to vote. »

“A race against time. We had discussions in Madrid and in the selection. I was pretty confident. The specialists told me it was going to be possible. I’m happy to be available for this competition. »

The Blues press conference will start any minute. Aurélien Tchouaméni is expected to start.
