Four months after its last rally, the French team found itself in this second half of March. Two games on Didier Deschamps' Blues program, faced with a single team. Opposed to Croatia as part of the quarterfinals of the League of Nations, the Habs have already lost the first round by going on Thursday on the side of Split (2-0). Sunday evening at the Stade de France, it is a hell of a challenge that awaits them. How will the French coach approach the meeting? Will he choose to renew his starting eleven on Thursday? Will he want to make some modifications? Some plead for a big change.
Present Friday on the chain set The teamDominique Sévérac came with his own proposal. And for the journalist, it seems necessary to upset the French eleven. Exit Mattéo Guendouzi, Randal Kolo Muani, Ibrahima Konaté, Jules Koundé. And no more leniency for an Ousmane Dembélé sent to the bench for the start of the match. The observer opted for a 4-3-3 with Kylian Mbappé replaced in the axis. To support him in attack, Bradley Barcola on the left and Michael Olise on the right. Two players who started on the bench Thursday evening.
Désiré Goué to animate the offensive game
Still a little more youth and explosiveness in the choices of the journalist who also chose to align Délé Doué in a role of right attacking midfielder. In defense, two replacements offered since Dayot Upamecano in the axis, and Jonathan Clauss in the right corridor, are established. An eleven suggested that has practically no chance of being the one Didier Deschamps will align on the lawn of the Stade de France on Sunday.
The fact remains that the Blues are at the foot of the wall and will have to present a completely different copy than that of Thursday. Authors in particular a catastrophic first period in the face of the Croats, the French will have to raise their level of play of several levels. The rest of their adventure in the League of Nations depends on it. On Sunday, they will no longer be entitled to error.
