It’s the start of a new era for the French team. Didier Deschamps’ men make their return on Friday evening at the Parc des Princes against Italy (8:45 p.m.), in the Nations League. On the eve of this match, the coach made a preparation in which Michael Olise was with the starters.

A question in defense
In a system worked on in the PSG stadium, the coach clearly wants to play on the dynamics of the Olympics by giving his chance straight away to the new Bayern Munich player at the top of a three-man midfield behind Bradley Barcola (left), Kylian Mbappé (centre) and Randal Kolo Muani (right).
In midfield, Youssouf Fofana and N’Golo Kanté could be associated. A question remains in defense: which hinge to start? Dayot Upamecano-William Saliba or Dayot Upamecano-Ibrahima Konaté. The two associations alternated during today’s session.
The rest of the defense should consist of Jonathan Clauss on the right and Theo Hernandez on the left.
