<p> <strong> HOW DO THEY PLAY?
|
|
</strong>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> Coach Laurent Blanc has experimented with a number of different formations over the past two years. Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris and centre-backs Adil Rami and Philippe Mexes always play when available, Yann M'Vila is the mainstay in midfield, and Karim Benzema is the first-choice striker. Under Blanc, Les Bleus have become more attack-minded; they invariably aim to dominate possession using their short passing game, and rely on the skills of Franck Ribéry, Samir Nasri and Benzema to unsettle defences.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> <strong> Likely formation:

</strong>
|

4-2-3-1

</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> <strong> Possible starting XI:
|
|
</strong>
|
|
Hugo Lloris (c); Mathieu Debuchy, Adil Rami, Philippe Mexès, Patrice Evra; Yann M'Vila, Yohan Cabaye; Hatem Ben Arfa, Samir Nasri, Franck Ribéry; Karim Benzema.

<p id="story_continues_2"> The 24-year-old has also won over Jose Mourinho this season. Benzema's improved form at the Bernabeu is in part down to a new fitness regime that helped him to shed seven kilos over the summer. He scored 32 goals in all competitions and assisted 15 others, and has begun to justify his €30m price tag. Benzema, Gonzalo Higuain and Cristiano Ronaldo netted a combined 118 league and cup goals this term, breaking the record for a trio (previously set by Barcelona's Lionel Messi, Samuel Eto'o and Thierry Henry in 2009).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> Benzema contributed three goals in qualifying and netted decisive strikes in friendly wins against Brazil and England. The former Lyon star will be keen to make amends for his lacklustre display at Euro 2008, when he started two games but made little impression.

. The Rennes holding midfielder played for France at every youth level before making an accomplished senior debut in Laurent Blanc's first game in charge, a friendly defeat to Norway. He was a regular in qualifying, scoring once in eight appearances.

<p id="story_continues_3"> Former Chelsea defender Marcel Desailly recently urged Arsenal and Manchester United to sign M'Vila "whatever the cost", while a switch to Real Madrid has also been mooted. He is contracted to his current club until 2015, but Rennes coach Frederic Antonetti is resigned to losing his star player this summer.

<p> After a disastrous home defeat to Belarus in Laurent Blanc's first competitive match, it was absolutely crucial Les Bleus steadied the ship away to Bosnia-Hercegovina four days later.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> Blanc, who was without several players still serving bans following World Cup misdemeanours, recalled Karim Benzema for the game in Sarajevo, and the striker scored a well-taken opener with 18 minutes remaining.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> Florent Malouda made the game safe for the visitors six minutes later. France eventually secured qualification by drawing 1-1 with the Bosnians in their final match, although they had to rely on a 78th-minute equaliser from Samir Nasri to avoid surrendering top spot in Group D.

<p> <strong> THE BOSS
|
|
</strong>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> <strong> Laurent Blanc
|
|
</strong>
|
|
inherited a France team in turmoil. World Cup finalists in 2006, they were dismal at Euro 2008 and shambolic in South Africa, where the squad's mutinous actions prompted a government inquiry.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> Blanc, who as a player earned the nickname "Le Président" thanks to his leadership skills, was the perfect choice to sort the mess out. The former Bordeaux boss lost his first two games in charge, but results since then have been impressive - February's win against Germany stretched their unbeaten run to 18 games.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> Blanc's tenure has not been without hiccups -
|
|
|
|
<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-13345266" > such as controversial comments about racial quotas at youth academies</a>
|
|
|
|
- but his stature within the game means the criticism that occasionally arises has tended to be muted.
