Laurent Blanc eyes maximum points against Albania –
France football news
Manager of Les Bleus, Laurent Blanc has set a target of maximum points against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Albania-c2834 in a group D game of the 2012 Euro qualifiers before his side faces Romania next week.
France currently lead the standings of Group D and are a point ahead of second-placed Belarus. Blanc’s men also have a game in hand which means that a win against the Albanians would increase http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899’s chances of winning automatic qualification for next year’s
European championships which would be co-hosted by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Poland-c2983.
Blanc knows that a win at Tirana and another win against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Romania-c2990 next week would put his team in touching distance of a place in the European event.
While talking to the media, the Frenchman expressed his ambition of winning both fixtures. “We know that it’s going to be difficult but we prepare for games to win them. Sometimes in matches, you feel that there are things that can make you win or lose but
you’re not thinking about that in the build-up,” the former Manchester United man said.
The central midfield pairing of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alou-Diarra-c5259 and Yann M’Vila is likely to be employed by Blanc as he looks to counter the physicality of the Albanian side. Blanc pointed out that the Albanian side is a well-drilled organized side that is good at soaking up
the pressure.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 right-back is a doubt due to a virus that made him miss a few training sessions this week but Laurent Blanc is hopeful that the Frenchman recovers in time.
Alou Diarra on the other hand is adamant that a repeat of a previous game against Belarus will not happen. In that game, Les Bleus drew 1-1 and never looked dominating at the Stade de France. “We have learned the lesson from our timid display against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Belarus-c2849,”
the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 midfielder said.
