This Sunday evening, the France team faces Italy as part of the 6th day of the Nations League.
An important meeting which could allow Didier Deschamps’ men to seize first place in group 2 in the event of success with a large enough score against Gigio Donnarumma’s partners.
The captain of the Nazionale spoke about the upcoming meeting and the French team which he considers very dangerous despite significant absences in the offensive sector. “ France ? It’s an opponent with a few absentees, but we know the quality of his replacements and the entire squad. A France which did not obtain a result in the last match (facing Israel) will be a vengeful France. There was little time to prepare for the match, but today we will work on certain situations. We will have to suffer because it is a technical team, with a good team, and I know their attackers a little. We will have to be aggressive,” he declared this Saturday in front of journalists at a press conference.
Which starting 11 for Italy?
Unless there is a significant defeat in front of its home crowd, Italy will finish at the top of this group 2 ahead of the Tricolores. For this poster, Luciano Spalletti should field a more than competitive formation to win against the 2018 world champions.
Here is Italy’s probable 11 against the France team: Donnarumma (cap) – Di Lorenzo, Buongiorno, Bastoni – Cambiaso, Locatelli, Di Marco – Frattesi, Barella, Tonali – Kean.
