[Saba Sports News] The 2024 European Championship is set to kick off in the middle of this month. Recently, French coach Arsene Wenger shared his thoughts on the tournament in an interview with the media. When asked which national team he is most optimistic about, Wenger expressed his belief that France is the top favorite and may even clinch the championship. Wenger stated, “It’s not by chance that the French team reached the World Cup final twice. France missed the opportunity to win the European Championship previously because they were focused on winning a trophy they had long been without, resulting in their loss to Portugal in the European Championship final at home.” The editor agrees with Wenger’s statement. The French team boasts several strong players, and their overall strength and teamwork make them one of the favorites to win the championship. They have reached the semi-finals of the European Championship on numerous occasions and have been consistently successful in the tournament’s history. The French team’s best performances in the European Championship came in 1984 and 2000 when they won the championship.
