The French team faces Luxembourg in a match that will have a friendly role but will serve for the team led by Didier Deschamps to perfect some nuances on the field of play and prepare for the Euro Cup. Before opening against Austria on June 17, the French team will prepare against Luxembourg and Canada.
BY: Maignan – The Milan goalkeeper is the favorite to occupy the French goal in the Euro Cup. Thus, it is very likely that Deschamps will bet on him in these two friendlies before the big European event in Germany.
LI: Theo Hernández – Theo Hernández has performed a great season at a high level in Italy with Milan. As a reward, being called up with his country to the Euro Cup. Even so, his position is in doubt as he shares it with Ferland Mendy, favorite to occupy the left back after an excellent season with Real Madrid. Meanwhile, it is very likely that Theo will occupy the left back in the first international friendly prior to Euro 2024.

DFC: Konaté – Fundamental in the “Red” defense all season and with 2,571 minutes played under his belt, Konaté aspires to be one of the starting center backs with France in the Euro Cup. Deschamps will try it out alongside Salibá against Luxembourg.
DFC: Salibá – Tough and consistent, this is Salibá, the starting centre-back for Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, who this season has proven to be a fundamental pillar for the Premier League runners-up. In France he will assume an important role in the defense and it is likely that he will form a centre-back pairing with Konaté, which will be simmering since the first friendly against Luxembourg.
LD: Clauss – The right back of Olympique de Marseille has been one of the new additions to France’s list for the Euro Cup. Deschamps wants to follow him closely as well as test him to see what he is capable of in these friendlies, at least against Luxembourg and decide between him, Pavard or perhaps also Jules Koundé.
MC: Tchouméni – The Frenchman has shown that he is as good at playing in the midfield as he is at center back. In France he has been called up to lead a midfield alongside his teammate Eduardo Camavinga. Deschamps could line him up against Luxembourg but it all depends on how the player feels since he has just suffered a stress injury to his left foot, which prevented him from playing in the Champions League final.
MC: Camavinga – Key in Real Madrid and recently proclaimed champion of the Champions League. Camavinga will be one of the most important players for Didier Deschamps and he will not wait to see what he is capable of with the national team, starting him against Luxembourg.
MCO: Fofana – Monaco’s attacking midfielder will have his chance against Luxembourg knowing how difficult it will be to win the position over Antoine Griezmann, favorite to occupy the French team’s midfielder in the Euro Cup.
EI: Mbappe – The French star and the most important player of the French team will be ready for the match against Luxembourg. After losing in the World Cup final against Argentina, there is only one option in his mind, which is to win the European Championship. All in a summer that indicates that he will be a new Real Madrid player.
ED: Kolo Muani – The Paris Saint Germain forward will start in his team’s first friendly and in a position other than center forward. It is evident that Dembélé will be the starting right back in the Euros but Deschamps needs more options in case he ever needs to get out of a tight spot in games as important as the ones he is going to face.
DC: Giroud – Oliver Giroud will be the reference up front against Luxembourg in a forward that will be asked for goals for the Euro Cup. Deschamps is still not clear who will be his starting forward in the Euro Cup, Giroud or Thuram.
This would be France’s tactical system in its first friendly (4-3-3)
Goalie: Maignan
Defenses: Theo Hernández, Konaté, Salibá, Clauss
Midfielders: Tchouaméni, Camavinga, Fofana
Forwards: Mbappé, Kolo Muani and Giroud
