This Thursday, Equipe de France will play Croatia in the quarter-finals of the Nations League at 8:45pm at the Stade de Poljud. The match will involve 4 Paris Saint-Germain players. 4 on the French side: Warren Zaïre-Emery, Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué and Bradley Barcola. On the eve of the match, L’Equipe suggests that Les Bleus are likely to play with only Dembélé in the starting line-up.
Mbappé – Dembélé – Kolo Muani
Rabiot – Tchouaméni – Koné
Digne – Saliba – Konaté – Koundé
Maignan
A team that is entirely possible, given recent matches and everyone’s current form. With Dembélé in particular, who could be used in a role similar to the one he has played several times for PSG in recent months: a free electron in the middle. Coach Didier Deschamps has in any case mentioned this possibility.
Of course, we’ll have to wait and see for certain, as there’s still some time to go before the match, and there’s no guarantee that all the choices have been made and released to the press. Changes are of course possible, but an idea is taking shape. Especially as the press is often more precise with Les Bleus than with PSG’s line-up.
