According to comments from Kylian Mbappe, the biggest opponent of the French national team in this EURO 2024 is no other team but the French national team.
The biggest rival of the French national team
After the unsuccessful EURO 2020, the French team set high determination in this EURO 2024. In the hands of coach Didier Deschamps, there is a quality squad and a top candidate for this year’s tournament championship.
According to Kylian Mbappe, the biggest opponent for the French team in EURO 2024 is this team. The striker ððĻðŦð§ in 1998 warned his teammates not to be subjective in front of any opponent.
Specifically, Mbappe shared with CNN: ” The French national team can field three different squads without too much difference in strength. The French national team’s biggest opponent is the French national team itself.Â
Mbappe commented on the French team before EURO 2024
That’s true, because there are many times when we lose ourselves. With a squad as thick as the current one, it is easy for the French team to be subjective towards their opponents.Â
Personally, I really want to win the EURO title. Because I won the World Cup and the Nations League. But EURO is a tournament I have never won, despite my efforts in the French national team.
EURO 2024 is also the first time I wear the national team captain’s armband. This is personally important to me. The championship is of course also important to France. I hope the fans can be proud of the team.
I am faced with another opportunity to write history for French football. Everyone knows how difficult it is to win EURO. Look at the French team’s group at this EURO, the opponents are all very strong.
The whole team needs to go step by step because everything will be extremely difficult. But it’s okay, the French team is ready for everything.”
