To face Belgium on Monday in the round of 16 of Euro 2024, the France team should present themselves with a 4-4-2 diamond. The Thuram-Mbappé duo holds the rope, with Antoine Griezmann in support.
The French team is moving towards a new change of system. After the 4-3-3, the flat 4-4-2, a 4-4-2 diamond is strongly considered for the round of 16 of the Euro against Belgium on Monday late afternoon (6 p.m. ). In response to the disappointing performances of the Blues since the start of the competition, Didier Deschamps could decide to place Antoine Griezmann in the best conditions, at the top of a diamond midfield completed by N’Golo Kanté in 6, Adrien Rabiot and Aurélien Tchouaméni .

A two-headed attack, composed of Marcus Thuram on the left and Kylian Mbappé on the right, would hold the rope. The Inter Milan striker is used to playing two up front at his club, where he is associated with Lautaro Martinez. The last time the Blues used this system at kick-off was against Portugal in 2020 (0-1 victory). The defense, however, should not change, the Saliba-Upamecano hinge should be accompanied by Jules Koundé and Theo Hernandez on the wings.
