5 days after the PSG victory in the Champions League final against Inter, football is returning through selections. This Spain-France in the semi-final of the League of Nations also ensures the continuity of Saturday evening since it is a match in the match between Lamine Yamal and Ousmane Dembélé for the conquest of the Ballon d'Or. The Parisian candidacy has taken another scale since success in C1 but the Barça player remains his strongest opponent. What if this award was played out on this new direct confrontation?
Reigning European champion, by beating the French team in the semi-finals 11 months ago, La Roja presents herself with a short step on her evening opponent (kick-off at 9 p.m.). Luis de la Fuente should opt for a 4-3-3 with a slightly different team to that winner of the last euro. Simon will indeed be present with the aim, protected by the recent winner of the Europa League, Porro, and that of the Europa Conference League, Cucurella. In the axis, we should find the hinge Le Normand-Huijsen.
A Dembélé-Olise-Doué line in support of Mbappé?
A notch higher, Pedri is off to a good start and organize the game of his team. He would be supported by Zubimendi and the recent European champion, Fabian Ruiz. Finally in front, Lamine Yamal will start on the right side, with his friend Nico Williams on the left to put Olmo, in a role of fake new, in orbit. On the side of Didier Deschamps, there are also some absent as Koundé or Upamecano and Saliba. Maignan will have a revised defense with Kalulu for his first selection, Konaté and Lenglet in the axis, and Theo Hernandez on the left.
Aurélien Tchouameni a little just to start, the coach would favor a 4-2-3-1 with a double pivot made up of Koné and Rabiot, who will find Lamine Yamal. In the direction of the game, Didier Deschamps has more cards in hand and would try an unprecedented quartet. Dembélé would start on the right side of the attack with gifted on the other side. Olise would occupy an axial attacking midfielder to serve Mbappé, the captain, who will therefore be a point. To see Cherki with the blue jersey, it will probably be necessary to wait for the first changes during the meeting.
