Strange coaching than that of Didier Deschamps Thursday evening at the Stade de France against Israel, with for this 5e
day of the League of Nations an eleven tricolor aligned in a 4-3-3 flanked by three recovering midfielders – N’Golo Kanté-Warren Zaire Emery-Eduardo Camavinga. A tricolor device that is, to say the least, cautious for such a meeting at home, against an opponent called upon to endure the debates.
To face Italy this Sunday evening in Milan, the coach of the France team has obviously decided to review his copy. In view of the setup observed on Saturday in training, the Blues should return to a more offensive 4-2-3-1, with players likely to shake up the Azzurri somewhat at their rear.
Nkunku and Coman from the start
In front of an Adrien Rabiot-Manu Koné pair more able to project themselves forward if necessary, Michael Olise, Christopher Nkunku and Kingsley Coman are expected to attack the game in support of a Marcus Thuram holder at the forefront. While Théo Hernandez and Jonathan Clauss worked on the sidelines of the group on Saturday evening, Lucas Digne and Jules Koundé have every chance of starting in the corridors. Like William Saliba who should be preferred to Dayot Upamecano in the center.
The probable eleven of the Blues in Italy: Maignan – Koundé, Konaté, Saliba, Digne – Koné, Rabiot – Olise, Nkunku, Coman – Thuram.
