Didier Deschamps, France's head coach, will try out a new formation against Belgium.


According to a report published by L'Equipe on Saturday, France head coach Didier Deschamps is considering deploying a different formation for Les Bleus' upcoming RO16 match against Belgium. Following an uninspiring group stage that included back-to-back draws against the Netherlands (0-0) and Poland (1-1), France has been paired with Domenico Tedesco's Diables Rouges in a rematch of the 2018 World Cup semi-final. France and Belgium will play this Monday at 6 p.m. CET in Düsseldorf.

According to the publication, Didier Deschamps spoke with his squad the best method to play against Belgium. France is set to deploy a tried-and-true 4-4-2 system, which was the preferred shape in France's two previous World Cup final appearances. In the group stage against the Netherlands, France's head coach used a 4-4-2 formation, with Juventus' Adrien Rabiot playing as a left-sided midfielder to give defensive stability. The experiment proved inconclusive.

However, Didier Deschamps is allegedly considering utilizing a diamond midfield with Antoine Griezmann, who was benched against Poland, playing a more forward role. Kylian Mbappé would be teamed up front with Inter's Marcus Thuram. N'Golo Kanté would play as a six, with Adrien Rabiot and Aurélien Tchouaméni serving as central midfielders

Botafogo, consisting of ten players, won their first Copa Libertadores versus Mineiro.

Botafogo won their first Copa Libertadores with a 3-1 victory over Atlético Mineiro. The all-Brazilian fight got off to a rousing start as Artur Jorge's team was reduced to ten men just 31 seconds in after Gregore was sent off for a high lunge on Fausto Vera. But the Estrela Solitária broke the deadlock with a sweeping finish from Luiz Henrique, who went on to win a penalty later in the half. Everson's foul on the winger was reviewed by VAR before Alex Telles cemented their dominance with a comfortable penalty kick just before halftime. Mineiro responded early in the second half, with Eduardo Vargas heading in Hulk's corner from the left, but the 2013 victors were unable to equalize. Júnior Santos' late goal secured victory for Artur Jorge's team in Buenos Aires' Estadio Monumental, sparking wild celebrations.
