The boss’ surprise! While Didier Deschamps and his staff seemed to be heading towards a team composition in 442 diamond with Antoine Griezmann supporting an attacking duo composed of Marcus Thuram and Kylian Mbappé, the eleven that will be lined up in Düsseldorf will be completely different. According to our information, the Blues will play, against Belgium in the 8th finals of the Euro, in hybrid 433. But beyond the animation, it is the choice of men that changes.

Freedom for Griezmann in attack
Antoine Griezmann will thus start on the right side in place of Ousmane Dembélé, relegated to the bench for the occasion. Marcus Thuram will find a place in the axis of the attack while Kylian Mbappé will be placed on the side. A position that seems better will suit his qualities than the point of attack. Griezmann’s positioning on the right will make it possible to close this side without the ball. When France is in his possession, Griezmann will have more freedoms.
The rest of the Blues composition is more expected with a midfielder composed of Adrien Rabiot, Aurélien Tchouaméni and N’Golo Kanté, while the defense does not move with Jules Koundé, Dayot Upamecano, William Saliba and Théo Hernandez ahead of Mike Maignan in the goals.
The composition of the French team:
Maignan – Kounde, Upamecano, Saliba, Hernandez – Kante, Tchouaméni, Rabiot – Griezmann, Thuram, Mbappé
