Euro 2024: Mbappé getting better and better, the Blues qualified, Italy miraculous… relive Monday’s day

Thank you everyone for following it! We’ll meet again tomorrow for another day of the Euro, with the Blues’ last group match against Poland on the program (6 p.m.).

Consequence of the evening’s results: the French team is officially qualified for the round of 16, being assured of finishing at least among the four best third-placed teams.

We therefore know the first poster for the round of 16 of this Euro 2024: it will be Switzerland-Italy, Saturday June 29 at 6 p.m. near Berlin.

It’s over for the two matches of the evening. Trailing until the 90th +8, Italy came out at the end of added time against Croatia, equalizing thanks to Mattia Zaccagni to validate their place in the round of 16 (1-1). At the same time, Spain did not force itself to beat Albania (1-0) and continue its flawless run.

It’s half-time in the two Group B matches. If Spain does not really tremble against Albania and quietly leads the score (1-0), the clash between Italy and Croatia does not hasn’t achieved any goals yet. The Croats are virtually 3rd with 2 points. It might be short to hope to move up to the top 3rds.

The outcome of the group of death is played out this Monday evening. To follow in particular a Croatia-Italy of all fears… The kick-off has just been given.

Luka Modric will be there to try to lead the Croatians into the round of 16. Opposite, Luciano Spalletti has decided to deprive himself of Federico Chiesa.

We remind you of the program for this Monday evening from 9 p.m. with the outcome of group B.

The two Portuguese from PSG Gonçalo Ramos and Nuno Mendes were unable to train with the rest of the group. Hit by a steward after the match against Turkey (3-0), Ramos trained aside, while Nuno Mendes carried out an indoor session.

Didier Deschamps concluded his appearance in front of the media by recalling the main objective of the match against Poland: to finish first.

On the impact of Kylian Mbappé’s mask: “Breathing, no. But the vision, yes. It limits vision a little. It is supposed to be protected so in certain situations, it limits the viewing angle. A greater risk of playing in the center? No, contacts are everywhere, in all duels. It all depends on the position. You have to get used to it, it feels a bit like you have 3D glasses. »

The Blues coach is wary of his opponent despite a complicated start to the Euro with two defeats in two matches: “Poland had a very good match against the Netherlands in a very precise system, a three-way defense with players of corridor. We don’t know if it will be the same. So be careful. »

On the possibility of rotating in the third match: “It’s the ideal situation. In Doha, I did it excessively because we were sure of being qualified and first. I have never done a top or bottom table calculation. I do not like it. In group management, on the other hand, it is important. Everyone needs to feel ready. »

“He was better in the second match. Given the two chances he had, scoring at least one would have changed the vision of the match. He’s had a busy season. In high-intensity matches, this is not easy. It’s just the fact that it wasn’t effective. »

“This can, as it did, enter into Nagelsmann’s thinking with Germany. The objective is to win the match to obtain first place, while knowing the deadlines which are more or less long compared to our second match or our third match. »

Didier Deschamps has just succeeded N’Golo Kanté at a press conference. “He gets better every day. He’s getting used to the mask. He wants to play tomorrow as much as against the Netherlands. »

“Our desire is to obtain first place. It has to go through a victory and perhaps score as many goals as possible. »

On the return of Kylian Mbappé with his mask in training: “I kind of forgot that he had a mask. He helped us win practice. He was good and decisive. I hope it will be the same in the match. He feels better ! »

On his role within the Blues: “When I can transmit on the pitch, I do it. It’s not my personality to lead and speak every time. »

“It’s nice to be back in the jersey, the supporters, the competition… We’re only in the group stage, we shouldn’t listen too much to the praise and continue to work. »

Asked about the return of Kylian Mbappé to compensate for the ineffectiveness of the Blues, N’Golo Kanté was satisfied to see his teammate present fit for Poland. “We all know Kylian’s finishing qualities. What is reassuring is that we had a lot of opportunities. Kylian’s return can help us win matches. It’s a big plus to have it. »

The Blues midfielder is expected in the following minutes at a press conference, just before Didier Deschamps.

Belgium is not in the scent of sanctity in this Euro 2024. Even if the Red Devils set the record straight by winning against Romania (2-0) after their inaugural defeat against Slovakia ( 0-1), the criticism of the selection has not stopped.

New demonstration this Monday in the columns of the Flemish media De Morgen. It was the father of Leandro Trossard, Arsenal winger, who hired coach Domenico Tedesco: “I don’t think Tedesco is a good coach for Belgium, even if he is not as rigid as Roberto Martinez. Leandro is criticized, but he is moved from one position to another, that’s not how you get a line in his game. No, I don’t like him very much. »

The Feufolet winger from Manchester City and the Red Devils of Belgium is completely disinterested in being “the best dribbler” at Euro 2024.

Jérémy Doku prefers to aim for the title: “I want to win this tournament. Afterwards, if I am last best dribbler, that suits me. So no, I don’t look at these statistics at all. If I succeed in my dribbles, it probably means that I had a good match, but I prefer to win and have a good match at the same time. »

After their warning against Austria at the opening of the Euro, two key players of Didier Deschamps are under threat of suspension for the round of 16 in the event of another yellow card.

The Mannschaft will face the second of group C in the 8th. This will either be England, Slovenia, Denmark or Serbia. The opposition will be known on Tuesday evening, after England-Slovenia and Denmark-Serbia.

The Squadra goalkeeper has made nine saves since the start of the Euro Livakovic, he has seven.

During today’s opposition, Didier Deschamps mixed the two teams. It is therefore not possible to draw lessons from the composition that the coach will line up tomorrow.

Wearing his black mask, Kylian Mbappé is currently training with the Blues before leaving for Dortmund.

Five young people, aged 17 to 20, were arrested.

Kylian Mbappé is there, masked. Absent the day before due to minor pain in an ankle, Eduardo Camavinga was there, as was Kingsley Coman, who suffered a calf injury on Saturday which had prevented him from taking part in the opposition against the youngsters from Paderborn. .

“We know what it is, we know it’s a knockout game tomorrow night and there won’t be any extra time. We simply have to win this match, it’s a must win. We need to come back with three points to qualify, any other result would send us home. »

“We don’t want to go home so early. We haven’t gotten the results we wanted so far. Now we have this match waiting for us and it will certainly be historic. »

If Albania does not win this Monday evening against Spain in Group B, then the French team will be certain of being at least one of the four best third-placed teams. And therefore to get out of his hen. We’ll explain it to you.
