On Friday night, the French team is playing for a place in the last four of Euro 2024 against Portugal. Today, the only certainty concerning the Blues is the absence of Adrien Rabiot for this clash. Cautioned against Belgium, the midfielder was subject to a suspension in the event of a caution. Who will replace him? Will Didier Deschamps do position for position or will he choose to reintegrate Antoine Griezmann into the midfield?
This evening, The Team tells us that a trend has clearly emerged, even if nothing is definitive yet. The lucky winner should be Eduardo Camavinga. The Real Madrid player, who has still not established himself as a starter for the Blues, has the right profile to replace Rabiot. But be careful, because the daily also mentions the possibility of playing with two defenders, Griezmann in axial support, Kylian Mbappé on the left and Ousmane Dembélé on the right.
The 4-3-3 is renewed
However, the current trend does not lead to this system of play and Camavinga holds the rope. While we were bored during the eighth against the Belgians, Deschamps, for his part, visibly appreciated the performance of his men in this 4-3-3 with Griezmann on the right. And according to The TeamDD would have almost acted on the fact of renewing this tactical scheme with Marcus Thuram at the forefront and Mbappé on the left. A system that the Atlético star had discovered the very morning of the match against the Red Devils.
“I learned about it this morning (his position), but I am at the service of the coach and the team. We adapt. That’s what’s important. Being able to play everywhere, sacrifice yourself for the team. Here, in this group, we have quite a few. It’s a pleasure to play with this locker room. Sacrifice, that’s going to be taken badly. The coach told me to play here, I played here.” Ready to do anything for DD, Griezmann therefore risks having to sacrifice himself again to secure a place in the semi-final.
