There is still the problem of right back.
despite, you know, the best, you know, Jules Koundé being very good in some ways, in many ways, in fact, and people were actually saying maybe we should have Warren Zairem rippling at that.
You know, it's the defence and the midfield, for me, are not as strong as they have been in the past.
Attacking-wise, yes, it's probably one of the strongest French teams ever, on potential and paper.
But it's not a balanced team.
And that's why I don't think that France can be seen as the out-and-out favourite for the competition.
One thing as well is that I think the most fluid and fluent performance I've seen from France recently was in the friendly against Colombia.
You know, they went to America, they played Brazil with what I would call the A team.
And then he used the A plus B players for the game against Colombia.
wearing, by the way, the most magnificent kit that I've seen a French team play in for a very long time, reminiscent of the 1982 legendary team.
And they looked fantastic.
But anyway, my point being that it was the most fluid and fluent performance.
And who was starting?
Actually, Cherki and Akliush both started that game.
And they played with a freedom.
I mean, one-touch football, it was absolutely extraordinary.
It was like watching, you know, yeah, one of those 80s team or perhaps the 2000 team as well.
And this is when Desiré Doué actually scored his first two goals for France.
So, and I left, I finished watching the game thinking, well, I don't know exactly where I stand with this team, because most of the people I've just seen, most of the players who have been so convincing, would probably not be in the team that will start the tournament in America.
So these are choices that Deschamps is going to have to make.
