Spain-France: Titan battle in Munich for the first ticket to the final

Death my life in Munich for the first ticket of its grand final Euro 2024! THE Spain and the France cross swords in the first semi-final of the European Championship in Allianz Arena (22:00, ERT1, bwinSPOR FM 94.6, sport-fm.gr), with the winner becoming the favorite – in terms of experience in similar situations – for the final on July 14 in Berlin.

The other pair of “4” between Netherlands and England duel tomorrow (10/07, 22:00) in Dortmund and whichever team goes through will know their opponent with the trophy and the chance to go down in history.

In the first semi-final, however, the data may seem balanced, but Spain seems to be in better condition. Counts only wins so far (five of which three in the groups and two in the knockouts), while she has only conceded two goals: one from Georgia in the “16” and another goal from Germany in the “8” which, however, did not they did damage.

“furious rocha” has the best attack with 11 goals in this area as well seems to be based for the goal of winning the trophy. In the quarter-final against the Germans, he showed character on a mental and competitive level, taking a great qualification with 2-1 in the last seconds of extra time, which he has filled her with faith how can he get to the end.

However, Luis De La Fuente has many absences to manage in this huge match. THE Dani Carvajal was sent off at the end of overtime, o Robin Le Norman fill out cards and o Pedri he hit his knee after a strong tackle from Kroos and will be back in the new season. As everything shows, Mr Nachos will take a place in the stoppers, o Jesus Navas at the right end and o Danny Olmo in a central attacking role, having the psychology from the goal against the Germans.

At the same time, Mr Alvaro Morata in his statements he left open the possibility of retiring after the end of the event, stressing that in his country there is a lack of respect. “I might leave the national team, it’s a possibility I don’t want to talk about too much, but it’s possible. In Spain, there is no respect for anything or anyone“, said, among other things, the forward of Atlético.

On the opposite bank, France ended a curse that seems to have been created in the penalty shootout. After being banned from Switzerland at Euro 2020 and the defeat by Argentina in the final of the World Cup in Qatar, she got – to a certain extent – her blood back against Portugal. After 0-0 after regular time and extra time, the Tricolors were on target with all five of their attempts, seeing Joao Felix miss for the Iberians, with Theo Hernandez saving Didier Deschamps’ goal in the final penalty.

France even has not scored a goal in normal match flow, however, has reached one step before the final and, of the other three teams, has the know-how to cope with the specificities of these games to a greater extent. Her performances are far from the talent of her players, but when it comes to the qualifiers everything else comes second.

Deschamps has no absences to manage, while he will also have a return, his own Rabio who was absent with the Portuguese due to punishment and will flank them Kante-Tswameni in the middle line. It is possible that he will get a basic jersey as well Ousmane Dembelewho was amazing coming into the match and ran the Portuguese defense up and down.

Possible lineups:

Spain (De La Fuente, 4-3-3): Simeone – Navas, Nacho, Laporte, Koukoureja – Olmo, Rodri, Fabian Ruith – Yamal, Morata, Williams.

France (Didier Deschamps, 4-3-3): Menian – Coute, Upamecano, Saliba, Hernandez – Tswameni, Kante, Rabiot – Griezmann, Mbappe, Dembele.
