France, currently placed second in Group A of the U20 World Cup, is set to face Spain in a crucial match for qualification to the round of 16 on Thursday.
Geoffrey Kondogbia, the defensive midfielder for the French team, anticipates a challenging game against the talented Spanish squad. Kondogbia believes that the key to success lies in familiarizing themselves with the opponent’s style and focusing on ball possession. He stated, “We know this team very well, with very good, talented players. For me, the key to the match will be to try to confiscate the ball from them and try to play our own football without focusing on them,” revealing his strategy for the upcoming game.
With their captain, Paul Pogba, suspended for the match, the French juniors will aim for at least a draw against Spain to secure their spot in the second round of the U20 World Cup.
In the other match of the group, Ghana, already eliminated from the tournament, will seek to earn its first points before departing from Turkey. They will face the United States in their final group-stage encounter.
