Deschamps: Connate is in poor form recently but he is Premier League champion Mbappe s best position in the middle

June 7th, the third and fourth place finals of the European League A League, France will face Germany. At a press conference before this game, French coach Deschamps talked about the team's preparations and also answered some questions that fans and media were very concerned about.

Regarding the changes to the starting lineup, isn't it important for the game? This is what you (reporter) said. Some players are not in good shape, and the interval between the two games is too short, so we will make a lot of adjustments to the starting lineup.

Whether to replace the goalkeeper

depends on the situation, we need to see how Menion is in and how he feels. This possibility exists, but no decision has been made yet. Of course, the goalkeeper's position may also change. If Menion needs a break...

About offensive tactics

I arrange the starting lineup according to the characteristics of the players. Some players have outstanding potential, but they cannot play at the same time. I have never given up on any offensive player. We created a lot of opportunities against Spain, but also conceded five goals, which was about balance. We are mostly young players and I won’t complain that I have too many offensive players on hand, which requires further verification. They can't play at the same time, but it's very interesting to me.

About offensive and defensive balance

We need to deal with climaxes and troughs, maintain a solid defense, and reduce the threat to our opponents. This is not done overnight, and Paris Saint-Germain is a good example. Many people were skeptical of them in November last year, but through repeated repetition, they finally achieved good results. It takes time, but we don't have much time.

Connate's performance

Connate did not show his best form, but he is the Premier League champion and has played frequently. He is not as stable as before, and he needs to play at his best, but maybe he isn't in that state lately. At the end of the season, he also encountered some minor problems.

About Mbappe's position

Mbappe's most suitable position is in the middle, where he is very efficient and it is no accident that he has been in the middle all season. While his characteristics are different from Giroud, I think the middle is his best position, and that's true for us.
