This Monday, June 8, the French press (from a sporting perspective) focused, on the Paris Saint-Germain side, on the roles of Ousmane Dembélé (29-year-old forward), Désiré Doué (21-year-old midfielder/forward) and Bradley Barcola (23-year-old forward) with the French national team. There is also Les Bleus’ friendly tonight against Northern Ireland at Stade Pierre Mauroy (Lille) at 9:10 pm (broadcast on TF1).

Le Parisien –

L’Equipe –

Tonight is the final dress rehearsal for the French national team, with the media expecting what would be the “first-choice team.” That makes sense, but nothing is certain either. This squad also has enough quality in depth for several options to exist in order to build “the best team possible.” That may also depend on the opponent and change depending on current form.

But Dembélé, Doué and Barcola will have their say, that is certain. The latter two seem to be competing, as at PSG, with different roles. That is where the opposing team can play a part in the decision. But each of them can also play in other positions. The main thing will be the desire to move forward together, as with all teams.
