France Team in Upcoming World Cup 2022
Everyone’s eyes are on France in upcoming FIFA World cup which is to be held in Qatar. Still, the manager of the squad, Deschamps has not been able to find the ideal candidate for the right flank in the team. Limited output in attacking by Bejamin Pavard and the lightweight performance by Jonathan Clauss makes the Kingsley Coman- who is currently suffering from a hamstring injury, is the only option left for deschamps to start off with the tournament. Compatibility, mutual understanding and the talent Mbappe and Benzema have been immensely commendable. Leading it to the add on to the tam by Giroud once again as he would push and open the potential of Mbappe. Paul Pogba and Kanté return from injury. Mid-fielders Youssouf Fofana along with his former teammate Aurelien Tchouameni, who is now making his place at Real Madrid and looks like to answer to the Deschamps call. Like every team and their management are on tight schedule, France is also on a tight schedule. The management will be announcing their squad on 13 November, meet up will be set on the very next day and then the team will fly to Qata on 16 November for the FIFA World Cup. Like some of the other supposed favourites from different teams, France has no idea what the squad will look and how they are going to play in the tournament for the country. Next two months will be crucial for the French football’s team as they need to put out the fire and potential of the players in the tournament. Building the pressure among the teams for the world cup,

France will be going to have the opening game with Australia on 22 November will be the favourite match for many to watch. France has already made a mess of one title defence this year in the Nations League. Many of the players that had chances to get into the squad didn’t able to make it. For example-Dayot Upamecano [Bayern Munich], Ferland Mendy [Real Madrid], Eduardo Camavinga [PSG], Paul Pogba [Manchester United], Ousmane Dembele [Barcelona], Olivier Giroud [AC Milan] and Clement Lenglet [Barcelona]. Surprisingly, Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate was also left out of Les Bleus' latest squad.The 22-year-old defender has been a rock at the back for Jurgen Klopp's side this season and has yet to lose a game in 27 appearances for the Reds. Defending champions of the 2022 world cup are France and the head coach Didier Dischamps hopes that his squad could become the third nation to win the tournament successfully after Italy in 1934-1938 and Brazil in 1958-1962. This will be the sixteenth appearance for the France in the FIFA World Cup which they have won twice in 1998-2018.

To win the Golden Trophy, France need to defeat Australia, Denmark and Tunisia in Group D. When we talk about goalkeepers playing for France, Deschamps number one choice is Hugo Lloris who stands between the net. He is the undisputed champion of all time, there is no reason for not having him on the Qatar’s flight excluding his barring injuries. Mike Maignan, Alphonse Areolo and Alban Lafont are also fantastic goalkeepers whenever called up by the manager Dischamps and it will be a tough decision to choose players wisely.
And when we talk about the defense of the squad, France's defensive talent pool is simply unbelievable. There's William Saliba of Arsenal, Raphael Varane of Manchester United, Presnel Kimpembe of PSG, Ibrahima Konate of Liverpool, Jules Kounde of Barcelona, Wesley Fofana of Chelsea, Dayot Upamecano and Lucas Hernandez of Bayern Munich, these all stars are playing for two or three position in the team for centre and back spots. When we talk about the left-back position Theo Hernandez and Ferland Mendy are the two front ones. Both plays for Milan and Real Madrid respectively and are solid players for the back. On the other hand, for the right position, Benjamin Pavard is the utmost priority for the Dischamps whereas the manager also has two more options with him i.e. Ruben Aguilar and Jonathan Clauss. There's little doubt that Deschamps will have to break a sweat or two to prepare his final 26-man list. Ousmane Dembele can also be seen returning to France squad ahead of World Cup 2022.

As we can see France is phenomenal in counter attacking, depth of the squad and has one of the world class talented and potential players. France might lag in giving and creating all hopes from Mbappe, France is also lagging somewhere in choosing their number 10 wisely. For the attacking point of view the manager has to choose from: Wissam Ben Yedder (Monaco), Karim Benzema (Real Madrid), Kylian Mbappé (PSG), Moussa Diaby (Bayer Leverkusen), Christopher Nkunku (Leipzig), Antoine Griezmann (Atlético Madrid), Kingsley Coman (Bayern Munich). Dischamps should be loyal and clear while picking up the playing 11 for the tournament.
