Hungary – France: Show off crest

The big favorite returns to the scene at the Eurocup. After their brilliant triumph against Germany , France wants to seal the pass to the second round of the Euro Cup against a Hungary that perished against Portugal in its debut, but that managed to resist for a good part of the duel against the Portuguese team. Benzema, Mbappé and Griezmann will once again be the trident of the world champion in the duel that will be played this Saturday at 3:00 p.m. ( Four ) in Budapest.

Because against Germany in Munich, France once again demonstrated why it is the great candidate to lift the European Championship on July 11 at Wembley. I don’t even need to show his best version to subdue a Germany, which despite showing a good level, was not able to get his hands on a France that once again made an ode to physicality and defensive efficiency. And also in this tournament it has a Benzema who coordinates from the technique a Griezmann very sacrificed in defense and a Mbappé who showed in Munich because today he is one of the best in the world.

Deschamps’ trident will be key in the static attack against a Hungary that resisted almost the entire match against a Portugal that suffered more than necessary in Budapest last Monday. Finally, Guerreiro’s goals and Cristiano’s double broke the game but the locals managed to withstand all kinds of attacks for a good part of the game. So France will have the arduous mission of jumping over the Hungarian wall and dressing up as a dominant team, a suit that is not the one that suits them best.

So France has the perfect opportunity to seal their qualification in the group of death of this European Championship. After adding the three points against Germany, three points against Hungary would leave him with six on the edge of the classification and with the first place of the group in hand. All with the aim of not having trouble against Cristiano’s Portugal on the last day.

Everything indicates that Deschamps will repeat the eleven that was imposed on Germany in a solvent way. Lloris will be under the sticks, the line of four behind will be made up of Pavard, Varane, Kimpembe and Lucas . Ahead, Pogba will once again lead a midfield made up of Kanté and Rabiot. Above, will be the trident that is the great hope of France in a European Championship where it is the great favorite for the title.
