Friendly - Bleus: Lionel Messi back in France?

France will see Russia in 2018. So it remains eight months to the men of Didier Deschamps to prepare for the next World Cup. And to get into the best conditions, what better way than to face the best formations on the planet.

France will see Russia in 2018. So it remains eight months to the men of Didier Deschamps to prepare for the next World Cup. And to get into the best conditions, what better way than to face the best formations on the planet. While a friendly match in Germany is already scheduled for 14 November in Cologne, the president of the French Football Federation seems to have some great ideas. Indeed, at a press conference, Noël Le Graët expressed the wish to welcome Argentina, also qualified in extremis for the 2018 World Cup, in a friendly match. The next friendly match campaigns will take place in November and March.
A first since 2009
This friendly match would be the occasion to beat the albiceleste training for the first time. Indeed, in three confrontations, the team of France has always bowed. The last date of the 11 of February of 2009. Argentina of Lionel Messi had triumphed of the Blues of Raymond Domenech in a Velodrome stadium glazed by the wind. A two-goal defeat to zero (Lionel Messi and Jonas Gutierrez were the scorers of the evening, editor's note). On the Blue side, Thierry Henry, Nicolas Anelka, Farnck Ribery, William Gallas and Steve Mandanda were present.
