In Munich, in the semi-final of Euro 2024, Mbappé’s France will challenge Spain, which defeated Germany, on Tuesday July 9.
A final before its time in this Euro 2024. At the Allianz Arena in Munich, France, which eliminated Portugal on penalties in the previous round, meets Spain and the nugget Yamal. This will be the 37th confrontation between these two nations.
Favorite and undefeated in this Euro 2024, Spain has been impressive for several weeks thanks in particular to its technical mastery and the emergence at a high level of wingers Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams. To thwart the Hispanic plans, Didier Deschampswho has managed to find the right formula in defense but is still looking for a good alchemy on the offensive side, is tempted to make a new bet. The coach of the Blues, according to the latest trends, should do without his playmaker Antoine Griezmann to start Ousmane Dembélé. The PSG striker, who made a good comeback against Portugal, has a more dynamic profile that should challenge the Spanish defense, known for being rather slow.
On the other hand, despite disappointing performances, Mbappewho has only scored one goal in this Euro 2024 so far, will once again be a starter. In Deschamps’ mind, there is no debate about the future Real Madrid striker. The masked man, since his broken nose against the Autrice, must guide his team to a new final. Coach Luis de la Fuente does not see it that way, and has explained his plan to thwart the kid from Bondy. “With players with these characteristics, who overflow so much, like Dembélé or Mbappé, the assists will be important. It’s the only way, in addition, to maintain the balance. (…) The other day, I said to Lamine (Yamal, editor’s note) that in this process that we were talking about, if he has three players on him, there is necessarily an area of the field where we are in numerical superiority. We will have to take the ball to these areas, and not with the ball at our feet. We must do it by circulating it quickly. That too is knowing how to interpret the matches. For that, we will need assists, but also be attentive to the other areas of the field.”
