Tottenham striker Louis Saha has admitted that he is dreaming of being included in France’s Euro 2012 squad, and would relish a chance to play against England.
The veteran forward will have to fight of competition from Karim Benzema, Loic Remy, Oliver Giroud and Kevin Gameiro to make Laurent Blanc’s squad to go to Poland and Ukraine.
However, Saha believes that France have improved under the current coach, and that they can be competitive at the tournament.
“My dream is to get into the squad for the Euros. I am working hard and I know the choice is up to the coach but I will fight until the last moment,” he is reported to have said in Mirror Football.
“We have to believe we can beat England. We know we have to get a result. We know our squad is not inferior to England.
“The victory over Germany has given us great belief. Greece showed in 2004 what is possible at the Euros.
“We want to play at our best because we have a strong squad, and if Greece won in Portugal then we must be up for that challenge.
“We’ve got a young squad and we’re making a lot of progress.
“The World Cup in 2014 could be our moment, but we shouldn’t discount this summer,” he admitted
