Gheorghe Hagi’s analysis of Euro 2024. The team that will disappoint in the King’s view

A month before the start of Euro 2024, Gheorghe Hagi analyzed the recent performances of the national teams considered favorites to win the trophy.

More precisely, England and France were targeted by the technical manager at the Lighthouse. According to the King, the national team led by Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham will be the “disappointment of the tournament”, while Kylian Mbappe’s team remains the main favorite.

“England, the disappointment of the tournament. France is the favorite!”

“I am afraid that England will not be the disappointment of the tournament. England play well in the groups but then fade away. He always had good players. Now he has a project, that’s why he has many good young people, they have a fabulous generation, but that doesn’t guarantee your success.

As an experience, as a team, as everything you want, France is the favorite! He can make two teams. The French invest in young people, they have trained players. They are the most complete athletes, they are very good. They have native strength. They certainly prepare technically and tactically, but they have strength and have very good academies.

Everything goes from there. They have the mentality of champions, they are strong. They have the ability to play complete football. They are also intelligent”said Gheorghe Hagi for OrangeSport.

“I think Romania will pass the groups”

Hagi believes that Edi Iordănescu’s tricolors have a chance to reach the upper stages of the competition, but for this they must show a brave game.

“I think he will pass the groups, yes. Don’t let what happened at U21 happen! A team was formed, a very good group, very talented players. They also qualified for U21 and seniors.

They must be convinced of what they are doing, believe in what they are doing and have courage. Anything is possible! To approach the game, you have to do both phases, you have to defend well, know how to attack”concluded Hagi.
