Press review: France buzzing and Torres to PSG ? | OneFootball

This Sunday, July 12, the French press (from a sporting point of view) focused, on the Paris Saint-Germain side, on the possible arrival of Ferran Torres, the 26-year-old FC Barcelona and Spain forward. There is also the French national team, with great excitement stirred up and eyes already on Tuesday’s World Cup semi-final against Spain (kick-off at 9 p.m., live on M6 and beIN SPORTS).

After some rather dull spells of play, the French national team has finally found a formula for pace and entertainment. It comes through a fairly attack-minded lineup, exceptional players, but also a different mentality. There is finally a feeling that all the players are there to help the team, with and without the ball. That makes a huge difference. It has often been said about PSG in recent years: when the collective is strong, individual talents can express themselves more freely.

That will have to continue against Spain, perhaps with an even higher level of play. Nothing will be easy against a very strong side. The Spaniards may be having a little trouble shining in attack, but they are still a very fine team, with real strengths. Including possession play that allows them to control the tempo and sap the opponent’s energy a little. It is a fine challenge for Les Bleus, with a bit of revenge for Euro 2024 and a place in the final at stake.

As for PSG, the Ferran Torres track has been mentioned by all the media since Saturday. It is a real possibility, with a versatile player who could very well round out the squad (possibly as a “replacement” for Gonçalo Ramos, who has left for AC Milan). Be careful, however: there is nothing concrete at the moment.
