The Finals squad

On May 7^th, 1984, Michel Hidalgo announced his list of 20 players for the Euros.

The main novelty in his selection was the call-up of previously uncapped Albert Rust as the Third goalkeeper. Rust was the starting goalkeeper of the Olympics squad.

Incidentally, Albert Rust would the only player to have been in the UEFA European Championship and Olympic wining squads in that summer of 1984.

In some sources, there was a proposed match vs Republic of Ireland (for May 9^th) that was called off.

Now the Final phase of the preparations was set at Font-Romeu.

Like most experts, Hidalgo felt France were favorites to triumph in the Euros.

He staed “our greatest victory has been to lift ourselves up after the tragedy of Seville” (World Cup 1982 semifinal penalty kick loss to West Germany)
