Didier Deschamps announced a list of 24 players to play the quarterfinals of the League of Nations against Croatia on March 20 and 23.
The national coach was present at a press conference this Thursday. The double world champion was notably questioned in Paris Saint-Germain which has been shining for several months and which hurts its opponents thanks to its pressing.
Renowned to be a follower of low blocks, the boss of the Habs did not hide his admiration for the intensity put by the Parisian club during his steps and admitted that he could study this option. “Take inspiration from PSG pressing?” It depends on having the ball or not. Pressing you must also see on what period you can do. Because it requires a lot of effort. PSG does it well and even does it very well. Luis Enrique will not say the opposite, it takes time and rehearsal as well as automatisms. I do not say that we will not do it but we will not have many sessions. Beyond recovering and pressing, I prefer that my team has a lot of the ball. This requires a lot of effort, adjustments, speed too. »»
Dembélé in false 9?
If Didier Deschamps should not change his gaming philosophy during this rally, it is however very likely that he opts for a change of position for Ousmane Dembélé. Dreaded in the position of false number 9 at PSG, the Parisian number 10 could also occupy this position in selection thus leaving the right wing to players like Kolo Muani or Bradley Barcola.
