Saha: France to threaten in Euros

Tottenham Hotspur striker Louis Saha believes France’s positive recent form means they are well placed to challenge at Euro 2012.

France, who topped their Euro 2012 qualifying group, are enjoying a 16-match unbeaten and defeated Germany 2-1 in their most recent international friendly.

Saha, 33, has said there is a lot of positivity around the French camp and feels they can pose a serious challenge in the European Championship.

Speaking to RMC on Wednesday, Saha said: “We’ll go (to the competition) with more respect. There’s been a lot of matches undefeated.”

“There is a positive dynamic. Winning in Germany, it was huge.”

“We developed an interesting game especially as Karim (Benzema) and Loic (Remy) were not present. The back-up players showed that they can do something in the competition.”

“It was a short competition to go through in 2004. It can go very quickly. We have seen Greece win, and I don’t know why France cannot win.”

France have been drawn in Group D of the competition alongside England, Sweden and co-hosts Ukraine.
