France - Bosnia: the last rock station.

Who scored in the first leg in Sarajevo a year ago, Florent Malouda (left) invited his teammates to not be satisfied with the draw.


A draw is enough for the Blues on Tuesday night at the Stade de France to clinch their place at Euro 2012.

At the end of the tunnel, light flickers. It is also necessary to succeed out to be irradiated, and finally burned the painful memories of a fateful Sunday in June in Knysna. The team of France Laurent Blanc has the option to remove this shameful past by getting as soon as Tuesday evening at 9:00 p.m. at the Stade de France against Bosnia and Herzegovina Safet Susic, its direct qualification for the finals of the Euro 2012 to be held next June in Poland and Ukraine. "There is the atmosphere but it's not a real final because there is a behind-up session, a net with dams," says the coach lights.
To head to the East without passing through the dam in November, the Blues must provide at least a draw against the Bosnians to preserve the point lead they have at the top of Group D. A goal well within their rope if one refers to their successful first leg, there are thirteen months in Sarajevo (0-2). "It will repeat this performance, but with other players. Since then, the team composition has changed, "cautions the coach. As if to underline the crucial role played by Benzema, Diaby and Mexes in the successful founding after the two defeats inaugural era Laurent Blanc (Norway and Belarus).

"Managing a game like that is not my philosophy":

Remaining from a series of fourteen unbeaten matches, the team of France has a capital trust enough to try and validate qualification for Euro victory by convincing on Bosnia. Ignite the Stade de France to reinstate a passionate relationship with the French fans still love despite marked by the fiasco that followed the 2010 World Cup. "The public likes the teams that win," repeats at every Laurent Blanc, who sees the infirmary French drain at the best of times. Thus, Abidal, Evra, Cabaye, Gameiro and are suitable for the final group match qualifier.
Despite the challenge, the coach seems determined to finish off. The demon of the game rather than the fear of heights. This fearlessness before the risk could prevent the French to cogitate over. Attack or defend, that is the question? And when it is decided, the uncertainty often foreshadows the disaster to come. Laurent Blanc, who had the terrible experience as a player in the removal of the World 1994 by Bulgaria, thus favors the taking of initiative to the attention pernicious: "Managing a game like that is not my philosophy. The team will produce the most play impose itself. We have great respect for Bosnia, but we do not fear. We will not prepare for a draw. This is the best way to lose. "

"We are not Italians":
Otherwise Bleus stunned to see the jitters as in the disastrous playoff against Ireland punctuated by the hand of Thierry Henry. Rare survivor (with Lloris, Evra, Abidal, Diarra, Mandanda and Remy) with an episode lasting tarnished the international reputation of the team of France, Florent Malouda challenges others to let go of fifa.com: "It is imperative win. It's a good opportunity to test the quality of our group. "Samir Nasri continues:" We are not Italians. I am not sure that we can aim for the zero success. The Bosnians will meet present at the physical level e. They will play. The game will be open. "
A reminder that the Blues will not surprise their opponents on the commitment and dry as the first leg. In order to have a better technical foundation and density to the "heart of the game", Laurent Blanc should not align as two strikers against Albania. A tactical option to bet more than a denial attack.

Safet Susic men dream to surprise the Blues:
Another story. Bosnia and Herzegovina (22 th in the FIFA rankings), led by Safet Susic selection, because this argument offensive significantly higher than those posted on Friday, with modest Albanians. With effective as their trump card center forward Edin Dzeko (19 goals in 39 caps). A threat all the more worrying that the powerful striker Bosnian walking on water since the beginning of the season with Manchester City (6 goals in the Premier League). What monopolize the attention of Adil Rami, who, as in the French victory of going to Sarajevo (0-2), will destroy the lanky striker surface (1.93 m): "He likes s'excentrer left. I'll be on my side. "A delicate as the talent of Dzeko (25) is protean. "It reached a plateau. It is a very complete player. It is good to head in the game and back to goal but it is especially a great finisher, "explains Samir Nasri, who supplies assists in the tunic of Manchester. Before insisting on the "formidable tandem" that Dzeko shape selection with playmaker Zvjezdan Misimovic. Their complicity was blind even led Wolfsburg under German champions in 2009.
"Do not fixate on Dzeko, says Laurent Blanc. Bosnia has other talented players. "Especially in midfield where the trio Misimovic, Medunjanin, Pjanic often imposes its technical and creative. And sometimes his craftiness, if one believes Rami "Pjanic is a mourner." One way to alert officials that the former Lyon, transferred in the offseason in Roma, do not hesitate to add in order to obtain the well-placed kicks. Another weapon in Bosnia as the accuracy of Miralem Pjanic is terrible in this exercise.

Map of the intox:
"Bosnia has nothing to lose but everything to gain," warns Nasri. Tactically smart, durable since Safet Susic has strengthened the defense (no goal scored in its last five games) and released by the sense of accomplishment (qualifying for the dams are at least assured), the selection seems determined to Susic play its all in the Stade de France. Rewarding victory Friday in the Luxembourg (5-0) a temporary midnight and a rest day, the star of the 1980 PSG has put his team in the best frame to achieve the feat most resounding in the history of the selection Bosnian (his first official match back only to November 1995).
By constantly repeating that France is archifavorite, Susic obviously plays the card of intoxication. One way to remove any unnecessary pressure on his players, who had declined entrance pavilion in the first leg against the impact of athletic Blues. You can count on the former defender Emir Spahic Montpellier this time to meet the challenge of physical commitment. A prerequisite to doubt the team of France and a chance to snatch the first Bosnian qualification for the finals of a tournament.
