Many people still put Spain on the top list of favorites winners Euro 2012, but some may take into account the strength of France. Since handled Laurent Blanc, Les Bleus suffered a significant development and is considered worthy champions winning entry.
However, Blanc has another opinion. For him, it is foolish to expect much from Leus Bleus, let alone see the negative results in two previous tournaments, Euro 2008 and World Cup 2010
Spain, I could see they would be champions. I can not say the same thing with us, "said the former architect of Bordeaux in a press conference.
"Spain is on top of the other contestants. But after the group stage, each one game, anything can happen and the German and Dutch is not too far [behind]".
"We hope to be there in the quarter-finals. This is our main target. I remind you, during the last two tournaments France failed to get past the first round. This is a reality," added Blanc.
Blanc seems to have a compelling reason not to favor his own squad. According to him, Les Bleus did not look too good after a pass in the qualifying round.
"The tactics, there's still work to do. We want to build a way how to play when the ball. Friendly match in November and then failed to help us."
"We must improve ball possession. In qualifying, we do well but not after it," added Blanc.
