The France team should therefore change the pattern of play. Like Saturday, the workforce of Didier Deschamps worked this Sunday with a three-way defense during a last opposition before the round of 16 of Euro 2021 against the Switzerland, Monday evening.
In the National Arena in Bucharest (Romania), between two rain showers, the Blues made a 10 against 10 with an axial defense made up of Varane, Lenglet and Kimpembe.
While Pavard was in the right piston position, a left piston was missing due to the number of players available.
With Lenglet rather than Hernandez
In all likelihood, Lucas Hernandez, although adapted, will not start the meeting.
Clément Lenglet, who has not yet played in this Euro, will therefore start in the axis.
"It is an option that can be taken or not," Didier Deschamps told a press conference.
What I did in the fall was a different option.
The choice I make is to be the most dangerous for the opponent ”.
This choice should therefore be 3-5-2.
The probable team:
Lloris (cap.) - Varane, Lenglet, Kimpembe - Pavard, Pogba, Kanté, Rabiot - Griezmann - Benzema, Mbappé.
