MINI TACTICAL ANALYSIS

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.

Likely formation: 4-2-3-1
Possible starting XI: Hugo Lloris (c); Bacary Sagna, Adil Rami, Philippe Mexès, Patrice Evra; Yann M'Vila, Yohan Cabaye; Loïc Rémy, Samir Nasri, Franck Ribéry; Karim Benzema.

STAR MAN

Karim Benzema was left out of France's World Cup squad because of disappointing form during his first season at Real Madrid, but new France coach Laurent Blanc has shown more faith in him.


Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema
The 23-year-old also seems to be winning over Jose Mourinho. The Real coach says Benzema and Madrid team-mate Gonzalo Higuain are the two best strikers in the world right now. 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.
The forward 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.

ONE TO WATCH

Yann M'Vila . 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.
Rennes claim they rejected an offer from Arsenal for M'Vila this summer, while three other clubs also registered their interest. The highly-rated 21-year-old was named in Ligue One's Team of the Year last season.

TOP SCORER - Benzema/Gourcuff (3)

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.
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.
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.

THE BOSS

Laurent Blanc 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.
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 since then they are unbeaten in 17 games.
Blanc's tenure has not been without hiccups - such as controversial comments about racial quotas at youth academies - but his stature within the game means the criticism that occasionally arises has tended to be muted.


EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP PEDIGREE


France's last trophy was at Euro 2000
Michel Platini inspired France to their first European Championship triumph in 1984.
Now Uefa president, Platini scored the opening goal in a 2-0 win against Spain.
Their second success arrived in 2000, when David Trezeguet smashed in a golden goal against Italy in Rotterdam.
