Although France splits theoretically like favourite in the crash of eighth of final against Argentina, this World-wide is characterising by the surprises, and would not be a descomunal the fact that the albiceleste, if it removes the bad game of on, cuaje a good performance in front of the Frenchmen and can advance to the round of quarter-finals.

One of the guardametas of France, Steve Mandanda, fears especially that Leo Messi can have "a good day" in the crash of eighth of final and, with his quality, command to the fret the work made up to now by the 'bleus' in the World-wide present of Russia 2018.

"The form to stop it? If has a good day there is not it, but think that the recipe goes through to defend compact, with the together lines", has recognised Mandanda, that already received goals of Leo Messi in the last France-Argentina of 10 years ago. 

That night, the Velódrome finish coreando the name of Leo Messi, and Mandanda wait that do not go back to happen the same of here to some days in Russia, although in this occasion the selections arrive in a different situation, with France having more talent a priori in his rows that the albiceleste.

Mandanda, in any case, remembers also that Leo Messi will not be only in the field, but they will accompany him other players of big talent, mainly of the centre of the field upwards. "It is one of the best of the world and the best of Argentina, is normal that speak a lot of him. But it is not the only. The danger can come by a lot of sides".

France wants to stop the feet to Messi

France, this yes, is very to the so much of the danger that can contribute Leo Messi, since Umtiti and Dembélé play with him in the FC Barcelona, whereas other players like Griezmann and Varane have confronted to the '10' in crowd of occasions in LaLiga. 

"We are warned. Some of our players play with him -Samuel Umtiti and Ousmane Dembelé- and many have faced him many times. We know what expects us and also that have arms to counter it". What is clear, at least for now, is that it will see an authentic partidazo between both selections.
