What if the Blues' attack experienced a major upheaval? While Kylian Mbappé has long occupied the role of center forward, Didier Deschamps hinted that Ooumane Dembélé could be tested in the forefront in front of Croatia. A decision that questions: Dembélé has always evolved on the wings in the French team, so why such a change?
Asked about the subject, the coach sowed doubt : “Today, Ousmane is an axial striker who likes to have freedom. Afterwards, it is complementarity, there is a starting position, but it is not a fixed position. »»
Mbappé quirky on the left, a revolution?
If Deschamps opts for Dembélé in number 9, this means that Kylian Mbappé would regain his left side, as in Real Madrid. A major course of CAP, while the captain of the Blues has often been used in the point in recent years.
With Dembélé at a point, Mbappé on the left and an uncertainty on the right, a new offensive animation could be born. Randal Kolo Muani, Bradley Barcola and Michael Olise are in balance to complete this unprecedented trio.
A risky bet or an idea of genius?
If the effectiveness of Dembélé in this position in the France team remains to be proven, its explosion as a scorer at PSG since January 2025 gives credit to this option. In club, the Parisian striker continues the goals with disconcerting ease. It remains to be seen whether this metamorphosis can be confirmed in the blue jersey. Response on Thursday against Croatia.
