Legend Philipp Lahm recently affirmed that the French team is a strong candidate for the Euro 2024 championship.
German team legend Philipp Lahm recently commented on the Euro 2024 championship race taking place in his home country. This is a special tournament because highly rated teams are participating, including the three teams with the highest championship odds: England, France and the host country. Virtue.
However, the former Bayern Munich player affirmed that reigning 2022 World Cup runner-up France will be the strongest candidate for this year’s continental championship title. Speaking on AFP news agency, Lahm commented:
” France, quite simply because they have, I would say, 40 players, they really have a lot of very talented players. They have a very balanced squad and can easily make changes , the depth of their squad allows the reserve players to all have the ability to start. It’s a real team.”
The French team is not really having good preparation matches for Euro 2024. Les Bleus lost to Germany and only had a hard-fought victory against Chile, raising concerns about going down the same path as the previous tournament. 3 years when he stopped at round 1/8.
However, there is also the opinion that the Gaulois roosters have not played at their best and there are still many tactical calculations coming from coach Didier Deschamps. Therefore, Lahm has reason to believe that France is still the number 1 candidate.
Meanwhile, despite the good friendly results of the German team, it cannot be denied that Die Mannschaft has no longer retained its steel in recent major tournaments. The three-time Euro champion team was eliminated from the World Cup group stage two times in a row and also stopped in the 1/8 round.
As for the England team, although always highly appreciated, the British Lions still lack the bravery of a championship candidate. That has been shown clearly throughout history, not just in recent tournaments. The clearest evidence comes from the fact that the Three Lions have never been crowned at the Euro.
