The gala matches follow one another for the France Espoirs team. After securing a narrow draw against Italy (2-2) on Friday, the Bleuets face Germany this Tuesday in Valenciennes in a new friendly confrontation. With always the same objective in mind: to prepare as best as possible for Euro 2025, which will take place in Slovakia next June, and which the Olympic vice-champions will approach as outsiders for the title.
If Gérald Baticle should once again take advantage of the match against the young Mannschaft to carry out a squad review, he should count on Rayan Cherki, the strong man of the moment among the under-21s. Against Italy, the Lyonnais was the hero of the evening, while his team was trailing by two goals: he first reduced the gap before offering a brilliant assist to Valentin Atangana… Already in a moment strong in Ligue 1, he is one of the satisfactions of this gathering, supposed to provide the coach with “a lot of answers”.
The France-Germany U23 kick-off is scheduled for Tuesday, November 19, at 6:15 p.m. The match will be watched live on the L’Equipe channel.
