Zapping Onze Mondial EXCLUDED: Randal Kolo Muani’s “Little Brother” interview!
Big shock this Saturday evening at 9 p.m. at Groupama Stadium, as part of the preparation for the next Euro 2024. Didier Deschamps’ French team simply receives the organizing country, Germany, in a poster which will look great. The opportunity for the Blues to test themselves against XXL opposition and inevitably, the Blues coach will try to field the best possible team. With three doubts remaining in the eleven according to information from the team.
Maignan holder, it smells good
The first concerns the goalkeeper. Will Mike Maignan, impaired by a hamstring problem, be able to play? The trend is positive after a specific session carried out this Thursday without a glitch. Another question, the choice of the hinge with a hesitation between Pavard, the man in form, and Konaté who has his automatisms, to accompany Upamecano at the forefront. Finally, the third doubt is more a search for confirmation. Will Warren Zaire-Emery indeed be Griezmann’s “replacement” in the starting lineup? This is the big trend while Marcus Thuram will indeed be preferred to Giroud in number nine.
The probable composition of the Blues : Maignan – Koundé, Pavard, Upamecano, Lucas Hernandez – Zaire-Emery, Tchouaméni, Rabiot – Dembélé, Thuram, Mbappé
To sum up
The France team is preparing to face Germany in a crucial friendly match with a view to Euro 2024. Deschamps must resolve three dilemmas: the availability of Maignan, the choice between Pavard and Konaté in defense, and the tenure of Zaire-Emery replacing Griezmann. The likely lineup includes Maignan, Pavard, Upamecano, Zaire-Emery, Thuram and Mbappé, while Giroud would start on the bench.
