Alain Giresse, World Cup player with France, wants Peru in the World Cup: “I hope they qualify”

The Peruvian team is one step away from qualifying for the World Cup. To achieve this, the ‘Blanquirroja’ must beat Australia or the United Arab Emirates in the playoff match. If the goal is achieved, he will be part of the French group in Qatar 2022, something that Alain Giresse, a prominent French ex-football player, wants.

“The group for France is quite affordable for qualifying. I hope that Peru will qualify for the World Cup and face France and Denmark like in 2018. I really wish it.”confessed Giresse, a World Cup player with ‘Les Bleus’ in Spain 1982 and Mexico 1986, in an interview with Infobae.

On the other hand, the small former player, but enormous in ability, made a brief analysis of the current France team, which has Kylian Mbappé among its main figures and has a young generation that promises to fight to lift the trophy again in the world event.

“In 2018, France was one of the favorites of the others. Today, they are world champions, with players who have progressed, they have become better, like Mpappé, Benzema recovered so we can consider that France is superior in 2022. On the other hand, there will no longer be the surprise effect that there was in 2018″Giresse commented.

The word of Didier Deschamps

Despite the fact that the winner of the playoff will only be known on June 13, the winning team already has confirmed rivals: it will clash against France, Denmark and Tunisia in Group D. In that sense, coach Didier Deschamps, current world champion with ‘ Les Bleus’, referred to the probable new opponent that he will face in the contest.

“Logic would suggest that it is Peru that will qualify, due to its position in the ranking. We will wait, because history also says that the best placed is not always the one who entered the World Cup”, explained the experienced coach of the French representative in an interview for L’Équipe, after the draw held in Doha.
