Unease among the Blues

For the friendly match against Scotland, Tuesday evening at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy, Didier Deschamps will only make four changes in his starting lineup, forcing certain executives to move on and leaving understudies on the bench at kick-off.

Aurélien Tchouaméni complained about playing too many matches with his club and his selection, he will be delighted to know that he is making a second start with the French team, this Tuesday evening, at the “Decathlon Arena Stade Pierre Mauroy in Lille Métropole » (the official title of this enclosure located in Villeneuve-d’Ascq). The Blues, however, follow up with a 6th victory in the Euro 2024 qualifiers (for easy qualification) with a friendly match against Scotland…

Against the Tartan Army, Didier Deschamps should only launch four new players compared to the victory in the Netherlands last Friday (1-2). Benjamin Pavard (for a first in the central hinge), Eduardo Camavinga, Ousmane Dembélé and Olivier Giroud should accompany Ibrahima Konaté, Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappé. We note that the French captain is not spared even though he was announced to be physically diminished before the international window…

The coach did not shake up his team. Certainly, the reinforcements called Malo Gusto, Jean-Clair Todibo and Castello Lukeba do not particularly deserve a start, but the faithful understudies of the group would have deserved to start this friendly meeting, like Brice Samba in the goals, Boubacar Kamara and Youssouf Fofana in the midfield and Marcus Thuram in the attacking sector. They will just come in at half-time or during the second half.
