The French national team is not without reason called one of the main contenders to win the European Championship gold.

In Didier Deschamps' lineup - only stars of the Old Continent's football, among whom stands out the most the newcomer of Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappe.

In the first championship match, the French will try to justify the favorites' names and sweat the Austrian eleven.

Before the D group match, D. Deschamps said:

"We watched the Austrian game in the last four matches, so we have already prepared a video analysis of who we will have to fight against."

In all matches, the opponents played very intensively, of course, their team is not lacking in high-class players, but the strength of Austrians is to use intensity and pressure. This will be the first match, so we have to be very focused."

Meanwhile, Austria's coach Ralf Rangnick said:

"We will play against arguably the main favorite of the championship.

The French are world vice-champions and undoubtedly belong to the category of countries with the best lineups and forwards. We will have to play at a high level and it is very important that we are brave and believe in our strengths. There is a great atmosphere in the team and all the players are ready."
