This Thursday, the French national team will play a friendly match against Brazil at 9 pm at the Gillette Stadium. 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. Le Parisien reports the following lineup:
Mbappé
Doué – Olise – Dembélé
Rabiot – Tchouaméni
Digne – Upamecano – Konaté – Gusto
Maignan.
A perfectly credible team, considering recent matches and the available players. It’s quite enticing, with considerable attacking potential. The key is to find the right settings and cohesion so that this translates into play. All this without neglecting defensive balance. A far from simple task, and the test against Brazil will be a high-level one. We remain cautious about the lineup, which could change before tomorrow evening. But the media are often right about Didier Deschamps’ choices.
