The moment France lifted the 2018 FIFA World Cup was historic. It was not only their second Golden Trophy, but it also put an end to their 20-year winless streak that began in 1998.

Les Bleus, who last won the European Championship in 1984 and 2000, now face the daunting task of ending their 24-year losing streak as they get ready for UEFA Euro 2024. So will Didier Deschamps and company find that this 17th edition proves to be a lucky charm? Maybe a glance at the team can allay any concerns.

The France team for the 2024 UEFA Euro

Goalkeepers: Alphonse Areоla, Mike Maignan, Brice Samba

Defenders: Jonathan Clauss, Theo Hernandez, Ibrahima Konate, Jules Kounde, Ferland Mendy, Benjamin Pavard, William Saliba, Dayot Upamecano

Midfielders: Eduardo Camavinga, Youssouf Fofana, Antoine Griezmann, N’Golo Kante, Adrien Rabiot, Aurelien Tchouameni, Warren Zaire-Emery

Forwards: Bradley Barcola, Kingsley Coman, Ousmane Dembele, Olivier Giroud, Randal Kolo Muani, Kylian Mbappe, Marcus Thuram

Didier Deschamps has announced a 25-man roster for this edition after deciding to bring one less player. As opposed to the 2020 edition, a total of 15 players have been left out, while 14 new faces have been added, indicating that substantial changes have actually occurred.

Theo Hernandez, Ferland Mendy, Warren Zaire-Emery, Youssouf Fofana, Aurelien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga, Randal Kolo Muani, Bradley Barcola, Brice Samba, Alphonse Areоla, Ibrahima Konate, William Saliba, Dayot Upamecano, Jonathan Clauss,

The following French players are key absentees for Euro 2024: Paul Pogba (doping ban), Clement Lenglet, Kurt Zouma, Leo Dubois, Lucas Digne, Lucas Hernandez (ACL tear), Presnel Kimpembe (season-ending ιnjury), Moussa Sissoko, Corentin Tolisso, Thomas Lemar, Wissam Ben Yedder, and Karim Benzema.

Axel Disasi, Matteo Guendouzi, Malo Gusto, Boubacar Kamara (ιnjury), Christopher Nkunku, Michael Olise, and Jean-Clair Todibo were the unexpecteԀ absences for France.

Warren Zaire-Emery, an 18-year-old prоspect for Paris Saint-Germain, is the youngest member of the team. He was a really unexpecteԀ addition to the squad, and he’ll undoubtedly try to make an impression right away. The strong domestic season for Zaire-Emery is the source of Deschamps’ confidence. During Luis Enrique’s debut season in command, the young player made 43 appearances in all competitions, scoring 3 goals and providing 7 assists.

Bradley Barcola: Warren Zaire-Emery’s domestic teammate, Barcola also succeeded in gaining Luis Enrique’s trust. He came to PSG from OL Lyon and made an amazing 42 appearances for the team in all competitions, scoring 5 goals and dishing out 9 assists. Alongside Kylian Mbappe, he possessed a strong attacking rapport; he will undoubtedly attempt to exhibit the same.

(William Saliba, Randal Kolo Muani, Eduardo Camavinga, and Aurelien Tchouameni are mentioned prominently.)

France forecasted the starting lineup and stars.

It is anticipated that Didier Deschamps would adhere to his customary 4-2-3-1 shape and a consistent progressive approach down the middle. The backline will apply a high and narrow pressing, with one of the two holding midfielders dropping to allow the full-backs to surge forward. This will result in a 1-3-4-3 system, since Deschamps naturally likes his wingers to be quick.

Mike Maignan, Jonathan Clauss, William Saliba, Ibrahima Konate, Theo Hernandez, Aurelien Tchouameni, Adrien Rabiot, Kingsley Coman, Antoine Griezmann, Kylian Mbappe, and Oliver Giroud were the players France anticipated to start.

Important Players: William Saliba, Aurelien Tchouameni, Oliver Giroud, Kylian Mbappe, and Antoine Griezmann
