As suggested by the setup carried out on Wednesday evening by Didier Deschamps behind closed doors at the Stade de France, it is a French team supported by its executives which will face Israel this Thursday evening (8:45 p.m.) for the 5th day of the League of Nations. As expected, N'Golo Kanté is captain of the Blues.
The Al-Ittihad midfielder will be the captain of the French midfield where we will also find Eduardo Camavinga and Warren Zaire-Emery. Currently in good shape with PSG, the Parisian will experience his sixth selection under the jersey of the France team. He will have the opportunity to make an impression.
“WZE” will not be completely disoriented since he finds two teammates from PSG: Randal Kolo Muani, aligned at the forefront of the attack, and Bradley Barcola, the top scorer in the French Championship. It is Michael Olise who completes the attacking trio and who will have the opportunity to showcase himself after having had a timid start in the selection.
In defense, it's almost classic: the hinge is made up of Dayot Upamecano and Ibrahima Konaté, preferred to William Saliba, who should start on Sunday against Italy. In the corridors, we find Jules Koundé and Theo Hernandez. Mike Maignan is the last line of defense and starts in goal.
The official composition of the Blues: Maignan – Koundé, Upamecano, Konaté, T. Hernandez – Zaire-Emery, Kanté (cap.), Camavinga – Olise, Kolo Muani, Barcola.
