Zapping Our Mondial EXCLUDED: Randal Kolo Muani’s “Little Brother” interview!
Didier Deschamps is a tactician who likes to prepare his shots. In recent days, the trend seemed to lead the national coach towards a 4-2-2 diamond with the trio Tchouaméni – Kanté – Rabiot in recovery and Antoine Griezmann in number 10 behind the duo Marcus Thuram – Kylian Mbappé. A device which had not been used by the Tricolores for several years and which inevitably raised questions. But obviously, “DD” has changed his mind, unless he has played the bluff in recent days.
Change of device!
As revealed RMC Sportthe French team should finally play in a 4-3-3 called “hybrid”. Kylian Mbappé will play on the left flank of the French attack, Marcus Thuram up front while Antoine Griezmann will take care of the right flank, but the latter will have great freedom of movement. For the rest, no changes, we find the Rabiot-Kanté-Tchouaméni trio in the middle. Ousmane Dembélé will therefore start as expected on the substitutes’ bench. It remains to be seen whether the Belgians adapt their system following this unexpected change.
To sum up
Didier Deschamps would have bluffed everyone with his formation for the 8th final between France and Belgium! Indeed, the coach should not opt for the 4-4-2 diamond but for a hybrid 4-3-3.
