A 4-4-2 without Dembélé or Barcola, Thuram back?…. The Blues Journal

Just one more sleep and we will finally know what this French team, disappointing since the start of the competition, has in its stomach. Opposed to Belgium, Monday, in Düsseldorf, the Blues are fine-tuning the final preparations, with a possible new change of system from Didier Deschamps.

Dédé the handyman, yes it’s him

4-4-2 flat, 4-2-3-1, 4-3-3… Since the start of the Euro, Didier Deschamps seems to be groping tactically, unable for the moment to find THE system that will be able to take it as far as possible this summer. And never three without four visibly since, on Monday, we are heading towards a 4-4-2 diamond with, depending on The teamthe departure of Ousmane Dembélé’s eleven (zero against Poland despite the penalty caused) and Bradley Barcola (at the top, him) and the return of Marcus Thuram. This would allow DD not to take out his Rabiot-Tchouameni-Kanté trio and to be able to reintegrate Grizou, on the bench five days ago. Hoping that this new attempt is the right one.

Camavinga welcomes Courtois’ absence

After Ibrahima Konaté’s highly-regarded appearance at the press conference on Saturday, Eduardo Camavinga also had a smile on his face as he took over from his buddy on the stage in the press room at the Paderborn stadium. And when a Belgian colleague asked him about the absence of his Madrid teammate Thibaut Courtois from the Red Devils this summer, due to a falling out with the coach, the former Rennes player seemed to discover the story. Watch the video, it’s worth a look.

Today’s program

The Blues will have a final session behind closed doors to work on the implementation of this new system, the most demanding to integrate according to most coaches on the planet. Good luck, friends! The pre-match press conference of Deschamps and a player, who could be captain Mbappé, will take place in Düsseldorf at 7:30 p.m.
