A classic. This Tuesday evening in Dortmund, the France team will challenge Germany in a friendly match. A meeting which will take place in a particular context. Indeed, the Nationalmannschaft is going through a huge crisis. Hans Dieter Flick was also thanked on Sunday. Rudi Völler will be on the bench this evening to act as interim coach while waiting for a new coach to be appointed. Opposite, no particular problem for Didier Deschamps, who despite everything has an eye on the new Paul Pogba affair.
The French midfielder tested positive for testosterone at the start of the season. But this controversy should not impact DD since La Pioche was not selected. This evening at Signal Iduna Park, the French coach intends to rotate (Olivier Giroud is injured) and will a priori bet on a 4-2-3-1. Mike Maignan will start in the cages. In front of him, we will undoubtedly find the quartet (from left to right) Théo Hernandez, Dayot Upamecano, William Saliba and Benjamin Pavard.
DD will spin a little
To win the middle battle, the 98 world champion will rely on a 100% Real Madrid duo. Indeed, Eduardo Camavinga and Aurélien Tchouameni, very good against Ireland last week, will be associated. Kylian Mbappé, Antoine Griezmann and Kingsley Coman will support Randal Kolo Muani, aligned at the forefront. An eleven that looks great and could well hurt Germany. But Rudi Völler is counting on a reaction of pride from his players this evening. He should also rely on a 4-2-3-1.
Marc-André ter Stegen will defend the German goals. In front of him, the line of four will be made up of Gosens-Rüdiger-Thiaw-Henrichs. As for the midfield, the Gündogan-Can duo will go to coal. To support the experienced Thomas Müller, Germany’s interim coach should trust Leroy Sané, Florian Wirtz and Julian Brandt. This poster (to follow live with live commentary on our site) is rather promising on paper.
