Didier Deschamps promises to make a surprising tactical change against Israel on Thursday evening at the Stade de France.
Now orphaned by Antoine Griezmann, the Blues relied on Michael Olise or Mattéo Guendouzi to assume the role of playmaker against Israel and Belgium during the last international gathering observed in October. In a classic 4-2-3-1 arrangement for the French teamtwo valuable successes had thus been signed. And yet Didier Deschamps promises to turn everything upside down this Thursday against the Hebrew State.
According to the setup interview this Wednesday evening in Clairefontaine, in a session preceded by a minute of silence in tribute to the victims of the attacks of November 13, 2015, the Blues on Thursday evening at the Stade de France should play in a 4-3 configuration -3. With a possible evolution into a 4-4-2 diamond.
Zaire-Emery holder
To do this, beyond a defensive base understood as to the five elements composing it, the midfielder thus reinforced in recovery should give pride of place to N'Golo Kanté – promoted to captain in the absence of Kylian Mbappé and by Aurélien Tchouaméni – to Eduardo Camavinga and Warren Zaire-Emery.
Randal Kolo Muani should be aligned at the center forward position with Bradley Barcola and Michael Olise alongside him – the latter being likely to become the high point of the famous diamond which would emerge in the event of a 4-4-2.
The probable French eleven against Israel:
Maignan – Kounde, Conate, Upamecano, T. Hernandez – Zaire-Emery, Kante, Camavinga – Olise, Kolo Muani, Barcola.
