In an interview with SPORTBUZZER, Lizarazu, a French football star who has played for Bayern and has played for Bayern, expressed his views on some topics such as some time in football in 2021 and this season's Champions League.
About your own football memories of 2021
Of course, the whole of football has been strongly affected by the new crown epidemic in the past year, so at the beginning of 2021, the game can only be played in an empty field, and at the end of the first half of the season, some Bundesliga games can only be played in an empty field again.
During this time, we had an interesting European Championship, with Italy winning the title on its own. Mentality is always very important in football, and this is vividly reflected in Italy.
About the German national team
Thanks to Frick, the German national team will surely slowly return to a very high standard. Frick brought fresh ideas and a sincere way of doing things to the German team, which is definitely good for the team. At last fall's World Preliminaries, Germany played a delightful football, which was good for them in preparing for the National League and the Qatar World Cup.
On whether Germany is a favourite to win the World Cup in Qatar
It's hard to say because the World Cup will take place a year after Frick took over the team. But if Germany continues to improve as they have in the last few weeks and the team has a good spirit, they can do more, there's no doubt about it. By the way, I think Frick's goal is to immediately lead the team to the championship.
About the French team
Of course, France's performance against Switzerland in the quarter-finals of the European Cup was very disappointing, and no players looked like they had reached their potential. The French team had the feeling that they were not in good physical condition and did not show the kind of belief that had made them very strong in recent years. However, France is still one of the most powerful teams in the world and will also be a favorite to compete for the World Cup in Qatar.
France have a very good configuration in every position and it will be very difficult to stop if they are united, as demonstrated in the UEFA Nations League semi-final victory over Belgium and the final against Spain.
About this season's Champions League winning favourites
If Bayern's performances are more stable than in the past few weeks, leaving less room for opponents in the backline and showing good discipline on the pitch, then they will fight for the European title and become the favourites to win the title.
Bayern midfielders have Goretzka and Kimmich, and in my opinion they are the best midfield combination in football today. On the offensive line, Levan, Mueller, Sane, Kingsley Koeman and Gnabry are also world-class.
About Paris Saint-Germain
Paris Saint-Germain are not in form to be consistent, they have very good attacking players, but they rarely participate in the game without the ball. Paris Saint-Germain's game is basically like this, there are three monster-like players in the front and 8 players running around to fill in the loopholes, this is not the way to reach the Champions League final. Apart from Bayern, the favourites include Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City.
