Special envoys to Bucharest
On the eve of the round of 16 of the European Championship against Switzerland, the French team completed a final training session at the National Arena in Bucharest on Monday.
According to the final set-up made by Didier Deschamps, the Blues will evolve in 3-4-3 against the Nati, a system that the coach has not used since a trip to Albania at the end of 2019 (2-0 victory).
Clément Lenglet will play his first minutes in this Euro, accompanying Raphaël Varane and Presnel Kimpembe in central defense.
Preserved against Portugal, Benjamin Pavard will find the right lane while a doubt remains for the role of piston on the left.
Lucas Hernandez trained separately with high intensity races.
The feedback on its state of form suggests a certain optimism.
If he was not able to start against the Nati, the Munich player would give way to Adrien Rabiot, who appeared with the substitutes during the opposition at 10 against 10 this Sunday evening.
