On June 12, beIN Sports released a video of the recent training session of the French national team.
During the French team's internal training on June 12, the atmosphere was noticeably more intense than usual. The team was divided into two groups for an internal match, with the two core players, Dembele and Mbappe, on opposing sides. According to on-site footage, Dembele and Mbappe engaged in direct confrontations multiple times during the group match. The intensity of their challenges in the midfield was extremely high, and physical confrontations escalated, even leading to a brief "close-quarters struggle" during a battle for the ball on the wing.
The media reported that, judging from the content of this internal training session, the French team is placing greater emphasis on high-pressure pressing and quick transitions, requiring forwards to complete pressing and counter-pressing within a very short time. Both players demonstrated intense commitment to the game, holding nothing back whether sprinting back to defend or contesting for second balls.
