Changes are happening now. Three days after France’s victory against Brazil, Didier Deschamps will make significant changes to the lineup this Sunday against Colombia. “It’s time to do it. After, ten or eleven… I won’t make it twelve,” joked the coach the day before this final match before the World Cup list. “I want to see the maximum number of players on the field.” Could this disrupt his players? “There are fewer reference points. It may slightly affect offensive animation, but we can’t have it all,” he admitted. “There is a team in front of us, and Colombia is a very good team, with very good players, but it won’t make me change the main objective.”
Final test before the list for the Blues
The goal is to finalize his choices regarding the players who will be asked to come back to the United States in a little less than three months. But DD is not putting all the pressure on this final test against the Cafeteros. “No, they are not playing for their spot,” he assures about the players who will be lined up. “I won’t make fixed ideas, because I don’t have all the data yet. Even if I take 26 players, some would deserve to be there, but they won’t. They have everything to gain, not everything to lose. What they do won’t condemn them.”
We have the right to not completely believe him.
