The big date is approaching for the French team. In a few hours (Tuesday 9 p.m.), the Blues will play their Euro 2024 semi-final against Spain. A gala match that promises to be thrilling and undecided between the two teams.
Absent against Portugal during the quarter-finals, Adrien Rabiot should make his return to Didier Deschamps’ starting team on Tuesday evening against Spain. Present at a press conference on Monday, the French midfielder analyzed the Spanish team and its star Lamine Yamal. The Turin player did not hesitate to put a little pressure on the young Barça talent.
I think he showed that he is a player who knows how to manage stress, he has a lot of qualities. He showed that he can play, we know what he is capable of and that he has a cool head. Logically, it is perhaps a little difficult to play a semi-final, but it will depend on our ability to put pressure on him. We want to take Lamine Yamal out of his comfort zone, if he wants to play a final, he will have to do more than he has done so far. The message is clear. Lamine Yamal has been warned.
Lamine Yamal is certainly the number 1 danger for the French team in this semi-final. The young winger is one of the revelations of the season in Europe. And in this Euro 2024, he confirms all his talent. The Barça player has been decisive in his previous outings with the Roja (3 assists).
The Blues will also have to keep an eye on Nico Williams. The whirling left winger impresses and dazzles the Old Continent with his classy moves. The Athletic Bilbao striker (who is coveted by the biggest European clubs) has found the back of the net once.
