July 1 – The French players held their final training session today in Paderborn, ahead of tomorrow’s 0:00am match against Belgium. France’s head coach Didier Deschamps experimented with a bold 4-4-2 diamond formation during the session, which appears to be the preferred tactic for the Round of 16 clash.
In this training session, Kylian Mbappé and Marcus Thuram were paired up in attack, operating as a double striker pairing. In midfield, Aurélien Tchouaméni anchored the midfield, while Antoine Griezmann occupied the top of the diamond. Defensively, the pairing of William Saliba and Dayot Upamecano remained unchanged.
The good news is that Ibrahima Konaté participated in the training session. After suffering a knee injury yesterday, he had been training individually. The French players will depart for the match city, Düsseldorf, this afternoon.
