Laurent Blanc play like sweeper, although if the necessities of the team require he could act like defensive midfielder, position in which he began. Elegant, effective, he goes very well to the crossroad and is always well placed. His great span allows him to dominate the air game, so much in defense like in attack, for the one he is accustomed to incorporate with frequency to finish off the corner kicks passes. All this plus a strong personality and a winning character that is transmitted to all his companions. Blanc was a key player in France's 1998 World Cup-winning squad who was unlucky to miss the final through suspension after a dubious sending-off.
