France all steam ahead for Euro2016 - Arsenal's Koscielny

Laurent Koscielny feels the France national team is building nicely for Euro2016.

The 2016 version of Europe's championships will take place in France in just under two years' time and the Arsenal defender is of the belief that Les Bleus will be well-prepared for their home tournament.

"We are excited because we will play at home," Koscielny told Arsenal Player. "When you play at home you have more pressure, but it's very exciting to be in your country.

"You can smell the atmosphere around the stadiums and it's very different. I remember the World Cup in 1998 and it was amazing, so I think all French people want to have the same in two years.

"If you have the legs to win at home it's exceptional. We have a lot of players with good quality and experience. We will do everything for our country to win the European Championship."
