The French team is playing its round of 16 at Euro 2024 this Monday (6 p.m.) against Belgium. A match that the Blues will approach with a surprise team composition. According to our information, Didier Deschamps will opt for a hybrid 433 with Antoine Griezmann on the right instead of Ousmane Dembélé.
The chef’s surprise! While Didier Deschamps and his staff seemed to be heading towards a 442 diamond team composition with Antoine Griezmann in support of an offensive duo composed of Marcus Thuram and Kylian Mbappé, the eleven which will be aligned in Düsseldorf will be quite different. According to our information, the Blues will play, against Belgium in the round of 16 of the Euro, in 433 hybrid. 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 France team:
Maignan – Kounde, Upamecano, Saliba, Hernandez – Kante, Tchouaméni, Rabiot – Griezmann, Thuram, Mbappé
