Laurent Blanc may not have perfected his formula yet but the French are the form team in Europe, having gone 21 games without defeat on the road to Euro 2012. A strong spine could depend on the fitness of Yann M’Vila but if they can find unity, Les Bleus could emanate their well-decorated predecessors.
Trends
- France have been eliminated from the last two major tournaments without a win
- France are unbeaten in 21 games
- The French have 13 clean sheets in the last 21 games
Club Comparison
Chelsea: Talent in bundles and egos to match, but if Laurent Blanc truly has this troubled squad united then there could be no stopping the French en route to glory.
Any Other Business
Strangely Blanc has taken just three centre backs with him to Euro 2012 and if injury or suspension strikes, a hole could soon emerge in the French back four.
