Zapping Foot National Interview – The underside of amateur football, with Romain Molina
Gérald Batic knows, the hardest part begins for the Blueberries. Present at a press conference this Saturday, June 21, the coach of the French Hopes team projected the Euro quarter -final against Denmark who awaits his young guard this Sunday, June 22 (6 p.m.). “We know that in the quarter -finals, there are eight big European nations. We therefore expect a big adversity. It is up to us to progress to deserve to go even further in the tournament,” said the French technician in particular. And he was right, as the first two quarter -finals of the competition, scheduled for this Saturday, were played.
The heroic Netherlands, England wins the shock
The first poster opposed the Netherlands to Portugal. First in her group in front of the French team, which she had held in check in the first match (0-0), the Lusitanian selection will go no further. Despite his domination, his numerical superiority since the 21st minute of play and the expulsion of Ruben Van Bommel (the son of Mark) and a penalty failed by Geovany Quenda (31st), the Selecção Das Quinas was surprised five minutes from the end of regulation on a face to face won by the Dutch Ernest Poku with the last Portuguese rampart (85th, 0-1).
Pushed towards the exit, Portugal lets the Netherlands go by England in the semi-finals on Tuesday. The young English guard actually won the shock of the quarter -finals against Spain. The two favorites, already opposed in the final in 2023 (English victory 1-0), fought a battle which quickly turned in favor of the title holder. James McATEE gave the advantage to his family after 10 minutes of play, before being imitated five minutes later by Harvey Elliott, the Liverpool player (15th, 2-0). Just before the break, Javi Guerra relaunched the suspense by converting a penalty (39th). Insufficient to reverse the trend. In additional time, England has definitively disgusted its opponent, reduced to ten after the expulsion of Rafa Marin (90+5th), by scoring a third goal by Elliot Anderson on penalty (90+4th, 3-1).
Blueberries to play now. In the event of qualification for the last square, the partners of Guillaume remains will face the winner of Germany – Italy (9 p.m.). The meeting will take place on Wednesday, while the final is scheduled for Saturday at 9 p.m.
