Blanc: France's Euro 2012 group complicated

France coach Laurent Blanc has warned his team against complacency despite a favourable draw in the Euro 2012 group stage.


The Euro 2000 champions were drawn alongside England, Ukraine and Sweden in Group D, but Blanc has told his side to take nothing for granted.

"It's a much more complicated group that it seems," the 46-year-old told 20Minutes.fr.

"You must remember what happened in South Africa," he stated referring to the French's World Cup exit in 2010 after being drawn against Mexico, Uruguay and South Africa.

France kick-off their Euro 2012 campaign on June 11 against England, before facing hosts Ukraine and finishing their group with a match against Sweden.
