The opening ceremony in Paris has not yet taken place, and the first major scandal of the Olympics has already occurred. Of course, we are talking about the match between Argentina and Morocco (1:2), which lasted more than four hours. While nothing can overshadow the events that took place in Saint-Etienne on Wednesday, another important moment of the day was the debut of the French national football team. Despite the tournament taking place in his home country, France youth coach Thierry Henry was without first-team star Didier Deschamps, with whom he won the 1998 world and European titles. years later.
Titi has to choose from supporting players, but as well as players from the domestic league, he also calls for: The duo who enjoyed success at England’s Crystal Palace last season – Jean-Philippe Mateta and Michael Ollie Sri Lanka. The latter has moved to Bayern Munich. Luic Bader from Sevilla will be in charge of the French team’s defense, and Alexandre Lacazette from Lyon will provide experience to the entire team. The first opponent of the “Tricolor Flag” is the American team at the Marseille Velodrome.
