There is no longer a choice. As against Ukraine during the play -offs at the World Cup in 2013, the French team of Didier Deschamps must go up two goals behind after his defeat in Croatia if she wants to access the Final Four of the League of Nations next June. It will not be simple, as the Blues have disappointed, especially in the first period on the side of Split. The slope to be raised promises to be particularly stiff, but not insurmountable either as the talent of French players is recognized.
Nevertheless, the coach cannot send the same starting eleven to the Stade de France tomorrow evening (8:45 p.m.). Some elements have not frankly shone and may lose their place. We think first of all of Ibrahima Konaté, responsible for the penalty given to Croatian (saved by Maignan) and friable throughout the evening. It is Dayot Upamecano who is expected to start with William Saliba, not free from all reproaches either, in central hinge. His ankle pain has calmed down.
Koundé, Rabiot, Guendouzi, Kolo Muani are targeted
Surprisingly fragile Thursday evening, Jules Koundé may also be the victim of the coach's choices on the right side of the defense. And to replace him, Jonathan Clauss starts from afar since it was Benjamin Pavard who would return to a position where he turned out to the Blues, but where he feels less comfortable. In the midfield too, there is a risk of attending radical changes. Replaced by Manu Koné at the end of the match, Mattéo Guendouzi would see his competitor joining the starting team.
If Tchouameni would keep his place, it is less certain for Adrien Rabiot, both for his performance and for the context, explains The team. After the insulting banners against him during PSG-OM, he would find the Ile-de-France environment that is hostile to him at the moment. The Marseillais is in balance with Eduardo Camavonga. A final change, offensive that one, would intervene in this 4-3-3. Kolo Muani would come out for the benefit of Michael Olise, however author of any entry to the outward journey. It is he who would accompany Mbappé and Dembélé rather than Barcola.
