This Monday, Equipe de France will play Belgium in the Nations League at 8:45pm at the Stade Roi Baudouin. On the eve of the match, Le Parisien and L’Equipe tried to guess the team that will be fielded by coach Didier Deschamps. The match will involve 4 Paris Saint-Germain players on the French side: Warren Zaïre-Emery (18-year-old midfielder), Ousmane Dembélé (27-year-old striker), Randal Kolo Muani (25-year-old striker) and Bradley Barcola (22-year-old striker). 2 of them are expected to start in an uncertain line-up.
Le Parisien (4-3-3) –
Barcola – Thuram – Dembélé
Guendouzi – Tchouaméni – Koné
Digne – Saliba – Konaté – Koundé
Maignan
L’Equipe (4-2-3-1) –
Thuram
Barcola – Guendouzi – Dembélé
Tchouaméni – Koné
Digne – Saliba – Konaté – Koundé
Maignan
Each team is credible and they’re very close. It could be a 4-3-3 defensive formation and a 4-2-3-1 in possession, with Guendouzi higher up. Soccer is never static.
In any case, all the media agree on the 11 players chosen. Dembélé is expected to start, while Barcola will get his chance as a starter after a good start against Israel on Friday. As for Zaïre-Emery, he still has to wait, but we hope that this time he will be able to take part in the match.
