France led by Didier Deschamps is undoubtedly one of the favorite national teams to lift the trophy of Euro 2020. Of course, the number 1 of the "Turkeys" bench knows this. But this fact does not mean that Deschamps has no dilemmas in selecting the perfect lineup for the prestigious competition. Although the coach published the official list of players collected, the model of the game and the list of starters remains unclear.
Karim Benzema has already been added to the team full of stars, after a 6-year absence in the national team. The Real Madrid striker is another added value for the French, and is expected to lead the attack, backed by Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappe. But, this plan seems to take it completely out of the game Olivier Giroud. The striker plays in the same position as Benzema, but star-studded France has room for only one of them as a starter. Not to mention the names of Kingsley Coman and Ousmane Dembele, who can only be activated in case of injury to one of the headliners.
Deschamps can choose to play with different formations in the European, but this scenario creates a less solid and stable team. In midfield the name of Moussa Sissoko remains in doubt for a place in the first team, but this dilemma will be resolved only with the start of the competition.
In defense the situation seems clearer, with the main titles: Raphael Varane, Presnel Kimpembe, Benjamin Pavard and Lucas Hernandez. All 4 players took part in France's last match against Bosnia and Herzegovina, and it seems that this type of defensive model could be applicable in Euro 2020. Lucas Digne also remains a strong option, which could replace 1 of the headliners in protection.
In all likelihood, the gate will be entrusted again to veteran Hugo Lloris. However the injuries of the latter during the season can bring surprises. In this case, Steve Mandanda will be the guard of the "turkey" gate.
