France Adjusts Lineup, Benches Griezmann for Euro 2024 Semifinal Against Spain

Posted : 09 July 2024

Didier Deschamps' decision to replace Antoine Griezmann with Ousmane Dembele for France's Euro 2024 semifinal against Spain in Munich underscores strategic adjustments aimed at revitalizing France's attacking potency. Griezmann, who had been a regular starter throughout the tournament, struggled to impact games as France has yet to score from open play, relying instead on own goals and penalties converted by Kylian Mbappe.

 

Meanwhile, Spain faced their own lineup challenges due to injuries and suspensions under coach Luis de la Fuente. The absence of key defenders Dani Carvajal and Robin Le Normand forced the inclusion of veterans Jesus Navas and Nacho in the starting lineup. Dani Olmo, who replaced the injured Pedri and excelled in the quarterfinal against Germany, will play a crucial role alongside midfielders Rodri and Fabian Ruiz and forwards Lamine Yamal, and Nico Williams.

 

France countered Spain's tactical setup with a 4-3-3 formation, anchored by goalkeeper Mike Maignan and a defensive line led by Dayot Upamecano and N'Golo Kante. Their attacking strategy revolves around Mbappe, Dembele, and Randal Kolo Muani. The outcome of this semifinal will likely hinge on France's ability to convert opportunities from open play and Spain's capacity to manage defensive gaps caused by their absent players.
