You know, he was injured before the tournament and he's kind of slowly getting back to full fitness.
to fitness within a tournament situation as well isn't it yeah and there's like games every few days and then as a collective obviously with Nico Williams picking up an injury as well they've kind of lacked the direct play on the wings that really helped them in Euro 24 so like without that they can it's easy for them to go back into the kind of
thousand passes without much penetration Spain that kind of has we've seen in previous tournaments whereas like having that directness on the wings will really makes a massive difference so they'll be hoping that Lamiño is fit enough to do that against France I really like Baena and I did at Villarreal now at Atletico and he's had decent tournament but completely different style plays a lot inside compared to yeah
was when Karim Benzema came back into the fold and they kind of had Rabiot and Pavard at wing back so kind of it wasn't quite right and that was yeah obviously only two plus one year after they'd won the World Cup and it didn't really get
the right balance with Giroud being an option up front Benzema coming back Griezmann and Mbappe kind of got worse when Benzema came back in which not a lot of people were expecting but that was part of the era right where it was felt that you needed Giroud on the pitch even if he wasn't going to score so that Griezmann and Mbappe would you'd get the best out of those two
They've kind of been looking for that player for a few years, right?
Like Post Pogba, Matuidi and Kante, which won the World Cup in 2018.
They've kind of chopped and changed that position a bit.
They had Kamavinga in the last World Cup.
They brought Griezmann back to play as more of an eight player.
And then post his international retirement, they've kind of needed somebody alongside Rabiot or Chouhameni to knit it all together.
And yeah, like you say, he's been brilliant.
France.
2-1.
I was trying to say.
You're going France 2-1 as well?
It's not a very exotic answer.
Okay.
For us then.
I mean, we've covered Chelsea's interest in Maxence Lacroix, right?
