France-Netherlands, for the Eurocup qualifiers: time, TV and formations

While the celebration of the world champion was celebrated in Buenos Aires, less than 24 hours later in Paris the runner-up of Qatar 2022 will begin his journey in the qualifiers for the eurocup which will be played in Germany next year. At the Stade de France, France will be measured with Hollandwhich makes coach Ronald Koeman debut on the bench, replacing Louis Van Gaal.

The match corresponding to Group B will start at 16:45 and will be broadcast by ESPN and Star+.

With its deluxe trident boot, consisting of Antoni Griezmann, kylian mbappe AND Olivier Giroudthe novelty in Didier Deschamps’ team will be that the PSG striker will wear the captain’s ribbon, a bracelet that belonged to goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, who resigned after the defeat in the World Cup final, and it was believed that it would pass on the arm of the Atletico Madrid player .

“I spoke to Antoine. I was disappointed and frankly it’s understandable and normal. In his place I would have had the same reaction.”Mbappé said in his first press conference as France captain. “He was perhaps the most important player of the Deschamps era. But I won’t be his superior”clarified the young figure of 24 years.

For its part, the Netherlands will have its new coach, given that the former Barcelona Koeman took charge of the team after the departure of Van Gaal and had to deal with a virus that caused the loss of five playerssome of which would have been titular in Saint Denis.

It’s about the players Cody Gakpo (Liverpool), Matthijs de Ligt (Bayern Munich), Sven Botman (Newcastle), Joey Veerman (PSV) and Bart Vergruggen (Anderlecht). In their place, Koeman had to urgently call up Ryan Gravenberch (Bayern Munich), Kjell Scherpen (Vitesse Arnhem) and Stefan de Vrij (Inter).

These losses add to the precedents of Frenkie de Jong and Steven Bergwijn. The Barcelona player has injured his thigh and the Ajax striker has a knee problem.
