This Thursday, the French national team will play a friendly match against Brazil at 9 p.m CET. at Gillette Stadium (United States). Ahead of the match, Le Parisien and L’Equipe have attempted to predict the starting lineup that coach Didier Deschamps will field. Five Paris Saint-Germain players are involved in the match, all for France: Lucas Chevalier, Lucas Hernandez, Warren Zaïre-Emery, Désiré Doué and Ousmane Dembélé. The latter two would be starters.
Le Parisien (4-2-3-1) –
Mbappé
Doué – Olise – Dembélé
Rabiot – Tchouaméni
Digne – Upamecano – Konaté – Gusto
Maignan.
L’Equipe (4-2-3-1) –
Mbappé
Doué – Olise – Dembélé
Rabiot – Tchouaméni
T. Hernandez – Upamecano – Konaté – Gusto
Maignan.
Everyone agrees on the starting lineup, except for the left-back position. Since the press is often quite accurate regarding coach Didier Deschamps’ choices, we can expect the team to be fairly close tonight. While we’re still waiting for the official announcement for confirmation, a few surprises remain possible, particularly regarding player positions. Les Bleus have versatile players and a very well-equipped squad, so several options exist.
