DBasia.news – The French National Team enthusiastically welcomed the duel against Hungary in the second match of Group F of the 2020 European Cup . Didier Deschamps’ team can’t wait to feel the terror of the home fans.
This match will be held at the home of Hungary, namely Ferenc Puskas Stadium, Saturday (19/6) at 20.00 WIB. The stadium with a capacity of 67,000 seats will certainly be packed with spectators.
Hungary is indeed the only host of Euro 2020 that can hold matches with the most spectator capacity. While the other ten hosts are still implementing restrictions on the number of spectators due to the corona virus pandemic.
Hungary can do so because the majority of its people have received the coronavirus vaccine. The country’s government also does not apply quarantine rules for immigrants from abroad.
Ferenc Puskas Stadium was packed when Hungary hosted Portugal in their inaugural match. This kind of experience is what the Les Blues squad also wants to experience.
“We are happy that the stadium will be full because there will be atmosphere and colour. The Hungarian players will be supported by their fans and that was an important factor in our preparation for this match,” France captain Hugo Lloris told UEFA’s official website.
“The audience will make the communication more difficult.”
The majority of footballers really miss the atmosphere of the audience in the stadium. This experience has not been felt since the corona virus pandemic hit the world since March last year.
Even so, Lloris was reluctant to underestimate Hungary. He is well aware that he can face difficulties like what Portugal had experienced in the first match.
“They (Hungary) have shown good things against Portugal before in the last few minutes. Heat will be an important factor with many aspects to consider in terms of sleep, nutrition and above all hydration.”
