"Although blessed with talent, French success is down to Deschamps' astute navigation of the tactical and political landscape"
France may not be easy on the eye but they remain the team to beat at #EURO2024, writes @_Adam_White_ : bit.ly/4bwH8Ru

My latest for the @guardian, Bruno Génésio worries for his job after Rennes lose to lowly Lyon in Ligue 1. theguardian.com/football/202…
🖊️ | For @guardian, a look at Lyon's utter disarray - is relegation possible? theguardian.com/football/202…
Not sure Chelsea were all that good, as coverage suggests. They cleverly nullified Arsenal build up but didn't create much & only led via a dodgy pen and a fluke. Plus Arsenal were terrible for an hour+. Palmer/Sterling only intermittently had an affect, they set up like a side who know they're playing a superior force and got lucky.
Funny how PSG finally invested in defense but signed the wrong profiles.
Hernandez, Skriniar & Ugarte are more defensively minded than progressive and (along with Gigi + even Hakimi/Marq) aren't remotely press resistant by CL standards as NUFC exposed.
Start again?... Again?
Newcastle lead not a surprise, they're the perfect team to expose PSG who don't have the technical quality, boldness, experience or plan to break their press, or any decent press tbh.
Chelsea's last 35 PL games = a relegation season:
P 35
W 6
D 12
L 17
Pts 30
The 0.86 points per game here works out to just 33 points over 38 games. Leicester went down with 34 last year.
