The France team welcomes Chile this Tuesday in a friendly match, 3 days after a clear setback against Germany (0-3). Here is all the essential information on this poster.
There are slaps that leave marks. The one that Germany gave to the French team in Lyon on Saturday should be a landmark (0-3). Completely unrecognizable, the world vice-champions did not live up to their status against a Mannschaft that was far from its best form. “ We didn't put in what we needed to, but were we capable of it? asked Didier Deschamps. The international level is ruthless. We can talk about accuracy and tactics, but Germany gave us a match with high intensity from the start of the match. Then we reacted intermittently. It's a reminder, it doesn't make me happy, I would have done without it“.
Still, the Blues will have an answer to give. And they don't have 150 slots for that. The friendly match against Chile, this Tuesday evening at the Vélodrome, is the only opportunity to regain a little confidence before looking ahead to the Euro. The tricolors can expect tough opposition against a Roja led by the experienced Alexis Sanchez, darling of the Marseille public. Didier Deschamps, for his part, could reshape his team if his recent comments are anything to go by. The coach assured that the defeat against Germany did not change his strategy for this gathering.

France : Maignan – Clauss, Saliba, Konaté, T. Hernandez – Fofana, Tchouaméni, Camavinga – Kolo Muani, Giroud, Mbappé (c).
