Yannick Stopyra, head of Girondins de Bordeaux youth recruitment
When I heard the draw, I was immediately very interested in Belgium v Ireland and Croatia v Spain. Those are two really big matches which will be key for two of the teams who are among the tournament favourites. Spain are favourites – they have the players to make people dream. Belgium will have to justify their European ranking. Because of Marc Wilmots, our former player and now Belgium coach, they have chosen Bordeaux as their base and the club's training facility to train.
