Coach Laurent Blanc is hoping his players can play with authority in the France vs Brazil international friendly match, following the huge mess in which they have fallen, lately.
Blanc boldly announced that his side was going to play an attacking game, even though the Brazilians are well-known for their fierceness. He explained to FIFA’s official site:
“The Brazilians like to keep the ball, which is the kind of game that we want to play.
“It will be interesting to see if we can do that and put them under some pressure. It won’t be easy, but the amazing thing about football’s that anything can happen in a one-off match.
“I like my team to have the ball, dictate the game, and score goals. I like to see players pushing forward as a unit. It makes the game more enjoyable to play, and to watch as well, doesn’t it?”
Asked on France’s gameness against Brazil, Laurent Blanc declared:
“It’s a game we have to play and that’s that. Taking on one of the top two teams in the world in front of our own fans (at the Stade de France) could help the team grow in confidence.”
