More news about national team friendlies
BY: Maignan – Deschamps will repeat as goalkeeper again and possibly be the starter in the Euro Cup. The AC Milan goalkeeper is prepared to defend his country’s goal and face Canada before heading to the Euro Cup.
RHP: Pavard – Against Luxembourg he came on in the second half and it is possible that Deschamps will put him on from the start of the match against Canada. The right back seems to be clear that Jules Koundé will occupy in the Euro Cup, although nothing has been decided.
DFC: Saliba -He also came off the bench, in this case he came out just at the start of the second half. On the pitch he looked confident and solid in defense, so Saliba has every chance that he will be tested from the start against Canada.
DFC: Konaté – He already started in the match against Luxembourg and the Liverpool centre-back opts to be the player that France has when it comes to defending. He is very much liked by the coach and his presence is key in the team’s defense. Against Canada he will surely start again.
LI: Ferland Mendy – He joined the concentration a few days ago after winning the Champions League with Real Madrid. His position, the left back, is a position that gives Deschamps headaches. Theo Hernández brings a great level but Mendy’s season is a “10”, so Ferland will have to make it clear to Didier what he is capable of against Canada.
MC: Camavinga – He barely played ten minutes against Luxembourg, but it was evident that after the great effort involved in playing in a complete final like the Champions League final, Camavinga needed a little rest. Now with fresh legs, Didier Deschamps will bet on starting him against Canada.
MC: Zaiïre Emey – Didier Deschamps tried it in the second half and was not satisfied. The doubts that the French coach has with Zaïre will be resolved by giving him more minutes in the second and last friendly before traveling to the Euro Cup.
MCO: Griezmann – It seems that Antoine Griezmann will play freely and between the midfield and the forward line, as he is used to doing with the French team. It is possible that against Canada he will have a few minutes and be able to start from the start, but what is certain is that he will not play the entire match since Deschamps prefers to rest some important players like him.
ED: Dembélé – Without minutes against Luxembourg, there are many doubts that Ousmane Dembélé generates. The Paris Saint Germain winger was a substitute for the entire previous match and is expected to play against Canada despite a good performance by Kolo Muani in his position against Luxembourg.
EI: Kylian Mbappé – The France star and new Real Madrid player knows what it is to carry a team on his back and that is Mbappé’s job with the France team. Against Luxembourg he scored a goal and gave two assists, data that excites the French and that he will want to repeat against Canada before traveling to the European Championship.
DC: Giroud – After playing ten minutes against Luxembourg, Oliver Giroud will be lined up as a starter against Canada. The feelings with Thuram are not bad but Deschamps has not yet decided who to use as a reference in attack. Oliver Giroud will have the opportunity to clarify all those doubts against Canada.
This would be France’s tactical system (4-3-3)
Goalie: Maignan
Defenses: Pavard, Saliba, Konaté and Mendy
Midfielders: Camavinga, Zaïre Emery and Griezmann
Fronts: Dembelé, Mbappé and Giroud
