The feelings are intertwined, in the ranks of the team, after the funny match delivered by the Blues against Spain, Thursday (4-5). Water has flowed under the bridges, but we do not yet know if we have to read this service with the glass half empty or half full. Didier Deschamps made his choice. The coach noted his players' collective mastery against a world reference like Roja. It is factual: with its 4-2-3-1 including 4 players with offensive vocations, the French team offered very interesting game sequences and has multiplied the goal situations.
But these too porous blues were also led 4-0, then 5-1, broadcasting the impression of being pierced as soon as Spain accelerated. After drawing a line on this League of Nations, Kylian Mbappé and his teammates will seek to save the honor by winning a third honorary place, this Sunday. This match against Germany, host country of this Final 4, should deliver its lessons. Because Mannschaft remains a world reference, too, although it is in reconstruction. And because Julian Nagelsmann's game project is comparable to that of Spain. And then a Germany-France is never trivial. It remains to be seen with which starting eleven will present the Blues. There should be a change in all lines.
The expected compos
Germany : ter Stegen – Kimmick, Tah, Koch, Gosens – Andrich, Gross – Gnabry, Wirtz, Sané – Füllkrug.
France : Knight – Gusto, Pavard, L. Hernandez, Digne – Tchouameni, Guendouzi – Kolo Muani, Cherki, Thuram – Mbappé.
