FRANCE Predicted 4-1-2-1-2 Line Up in World Cup 2022
The upcoming FIFA World Cup will have France as a participant, and they will go into the event hoping to keep the trophy they won in Russia in 2018.France was placed in a group with Australia, Australia, Denmark, and Tunisia at the group stage draw.
Let's examine how the squad might line up for the contest given that they have a number of strong players;
GOALKEEPER
Hugo Lloris, Mike Maignan, and Alphonse Areola are the goalkeepers who may compete for the starting position in the goal post. Hugo Lloris, the captain of Tottenham Hotspur, may be the first choice in this position if one closely examines coach Didier Deschamps' strategies and recent selections.
DEFENDERS
Many possibilities, including Benjamin Pavard, Raphael Varane, Ibrahima Konate, Lukas Hernandez, and Jules Kounde, will be vying for a spot on the first squad in the defensive area.
However, Benjamin Pavard on the right side and Lucas Digne on the left back make up the anticipated defense. Ibrahima Konate and Dayot Upamecano could be the potential center defense pairing.
MIDFIELD
Due to the wide pool of players, this position also faces intense competition. Ngolo Kante might continue to play as a lone defensive midfielder. Aurelien Tchouameni and Kingsley Coman could be paired in the center of the midfield. Moving forward, Christopher Nkunku might play as an offensive midfielder to support the strikers.
FORWARD
Last season, Karim Benzema performed at his peak, which helped Real Madrid win the triple crown. Also untouchable at Paris Saint-Germain was Kylian Mbappe. The two might line up together up front to form an attacking tandem.
SUBSTITUTES
Mike Maignan
Lukas Hernandez
Raphael Varane
Jules Kounde
Eduardo Camavinga
Adrien Rabiot
Paul Pogba
Antoine Griezmann
Wissam Ben Yedder.

Memphis Depay explains where he "belongs" as Man Utd contract clause resurfaces
When he joined Manchester United in 2015, the Netherlands international struggled to live up to expectations, but he demonstrated enough for a buy-back clause to be added to his next contract.
In the midst of a frenzy of Premier League interest as Barcelona considers selling the 28-year-old, Memphis Depay has clarified where he feels he "belongs."
Although the Dutchman only arrived at the Camp Nou last year, the Catalan powerhouse may be forced to sell the striker to raise money for moves for more urgent positions given their precarious financial situation.
The English team currently showing the most interest in Depay is Tottenham, but there are many indications that a move back to Manchester United cannot be ruled out at this time.
Depay acknowledged that he would be open to returning to the English top division, where he felt he belongs, in an interview with Voetbal Primeur three years ago. He said, "It's a really good competition. "I want to be a part of a squad that plays quality football and can play around me so I can do what I do best. I'll never say it's impossible."
Seven years after being enticed away from PSV Eindhoven for a cost of £25 million by then-Red Devils manager and fellow countryman Louis van Gaal, Depay first arrived at Old Trafford. He was traded by United to Lyon after only two years because he was unable to exhibit the talent that made him so lethal in the Eredivisie.
Jose Mourinho was in control by the time United let Depay go. He authorized the forward's departure for France, but not before adding a buy-back clause to his contract with Lyon owing to the forward's apparent potential in the eyes of the Portuguese coach.
It was a poor choice made in typical recent United fashion because the team decided not to activate the option when he was dominating Ligue 1. The Red Devils disregarded the stipulation they included into the agreement even after it became obvious that he would leave Lyon.
