    WEDNESDAY, MAY 25, 2016 Euro 2016 terror threat worries Desailly CARDIFF: France’s World Cup winner Marcel Desailly is worried about security for Euro 2016 after the deadly attacks on Paris last November. “Of course, there is a little fear,” the 1998 World Cup winner and Euro 2000 champion said. “Because of the level of security, we hope nothing will happen, but it’s a very difficult thing to be able to check everyone. “It’s not just the stadiums, it can happen anywhere in any city.” His comments came amid a new scare over security breaches at the Stade de France in Paris during the French Cup final on Saturday. The stadium, which will host the opening match on June 10 plus the July 10 final, was targeted by suicide bombers during the November 13 attacks that left 130 dead. Desailly, a key member of the side that won the 1998 World Cup final in the stadium, said he hopes France can win the European champi- onships on home soil to lift the whole country. “If France win the title, it will boost more than just football, it will boost the economy, it will boost the hope,” said the 47-year-old. “People are quite sad, life is diffi- cult and football will bring some smiles to the faces, like we did in 2000 and 1998.” The former Chelsea and AC Milan defender hopes Didier Deschamps’ squad can win a third European crown after their 1984 and 2000 triumphs. ‘A big blow’ Desailly said the absence of experienced striker Karim Benzema could hurt France, but they have the talent to cope.

Next it will be the turn of the youth players in both the men’s (Under-17 and Under-19) and women’s categories (Under-19) to compete for European honours from May to July, when the final rounds of their European champion- ships will be taking place. At senior level, however, the players only have European club competition medals to contend for this year. The national teams are not dormant though. At the end of March, the UEFA EURO 2004 qualifiers move into their criti- cal phase and, come autumn, the 15 teams who will join hosts Portugal in the final round next year will be known. There could be a lot of drama to come. I am happy to report that with UEFA EURO 2004 only 15 months away, preparations are well advanced, and EURO 2004, SA, the joint operation set up by UEFA and the Portuguese Football Federation, is running at full speed.

The opportunities to hike the mountainous Alps or bike through the city are certainly great breakaway opportunities from just the football.
