Is the defending champion, this trip is also a lot of bad, last time to win the title of the absolute midfield main force Kante and early due to injury to miss the list. Deschamps confirmed the 26-person list, first of all, the center back Kim Pembe quit, since then the front line of Nkunku and Benzema has withdrawn from the national team due to injury, since then Deschamps chose the striker Mouani to replace Nkunku, but for the replacement of Benzema's candidate, it seems that Deschamps does not have a clear idea, and ultimately decided to, to 25 people to play in the World Cup.
Before this game, the French side still have bad news, Varane's injury recovery is not ideal, this game will certainly not start. According to the French media is expected, France will use 4231 tactics to open the World Cup tour, center back Konate and the Upamekano partner, two sides are Lucas and Te'o brothers; two backs are Rabiot and Joan Armeni; center Giroux take charge, behind him is, Griezmann and. This debut, the center back national team experience is not enough, the back position is also prone to insufficient protection of the defense, after all, most of the time will shrink the defense, the French formation may be pressed more up. And the offensive end, it depends on how Giroud's status.
Australia entered the World Cup through the play-offs this year, and in the last World Cup, they were in the same group as France, and met in the first match of the group stage. In the end, France barely managed to complete the reversal with two goals in the second half to take away three points. Therefore, for Australian players, they have certain experience and confidence to continue to implement the strategy of defensive counterattack in this game. As for the lineup, the team's winger Boyle withdrew from the national team due to injury, and winger Tirio came in as a replacement. The good news is that center back Rolos and center back Soutar have both recovered from injuries, and the two are likely to make up the main center back pairing for tonight's game in Europe. Soutar not only has a strong ability to control the air in the penalty area, but also through the positioning of the ball to score, in his 10 national team games, scored a total of 6 goals, scoring efficiency even more than many strikers. So, for Souttar this point, France also need to pay extra attention, after all, Lowry is not a goalkeeper who likes to strike. On the offensive side, in addition to the long-established Mabiel, the Australian bench also has an outstanding individual ability of the winger player Kuhl is worth paying attention to, he has been booked by the team Newcastle, the physical conditions are very good.
Benzema's injury has forced Deschamps to go back to his old 4231 single striker tactics from the 2018 World Cup. And in the 2018 World Cup, France played until the 4th game 2-0 defeat, before ushering in the first time to play through the results. In 3 group games, France won 2 and drew 1, and the games they won were all 1-goal victories over their opponents. On the one hand, as a title contender, a slow start is the ideal rhythm; on the other hand, France's current staffing, in fact, the midfield's creativity is slightly insufficient, the face of the torpid defense to spell the body of the team, and will not have too many scoring opportunities. Not to mention the young center back combination, it is hard to keep from losing.
