Didier Deschamps Racik Formasi Baru Timnas Prancis Jelang Piala Dunia

Pelatih Timnas Prancis Didier Deschamps meracik formula baru untuk kuartet lini serang menjelang pertandingan pembuka fase grup Piala Dunia melawan Senegal di East Rutherford, dekat New York, pada Selasa, 16 Juni 2026.

Strategi teranyar ini menempatkan penyerang Paris Saint-Germain, Ousmane Dembele, pada posisi sentral favoritnya di belakang Kylian Mbappe, diapit oleh talenta muda Michael Olise di sisi kanan dan Desire Doue di sisi kiri.

Perubahan taktik tersebut dilakukan demi memaksimalkan potensi Dembele yang performanya di tim nasional kerap dinilai kurang efektif dan kalah dominan jika dibandingkan dengan penampilannya yang gemilang bersama klub.

Rekan setim Dembele di PSG dan tim nasional, Lucas Hernandez, memberikan pandangan mengenai situasi sang pemain yang kini dituntut menemukan solusi terbaik di lapangan setelah mendapatkan kebebasan penuh di level klub.

"At Paris, he gets complete freedom from the coach (Luis Enrique)," kata Lucas Hernandez, bek Timnas Prancis. "It’s up to him to find the right solutions on the field to prove that he’s the best player in the world."

Menurut Hernandez, penyerang berusia 29 tahun tersebut tidak mendapatkan kebebasan bergerak yang sama ketika mengenakan seragam tim nasional, meskipun kualitasnya sebagai pemain luar biasa tetap tidak terbantahkan.

"He’s still an extraordinary player, though," ujar Lucas Hernandez.

Dembele sendiri angkat bicara mengenai perdebatan seputar perbedaan tingkat efektivitas performanya di Les Bleus dan PSG, terutama terkait dengan aktivitas fisik serta jangkauan pergerakan di lapangan.

"This is one of the big debates around the France team. Decisive and effective with PSG, Ousmane Dembélé is much less so with the Blues. Asked about this difference and about less physical activity in selection, the main interested party tried to provide an answer. “It depends, but I think it’s difficult, because at Paris Saint-Germain, I play more centrally and I think that’s where I run the most.

In every match I want to give everything, I want to try to help the team. But we know that I am not the one who covers the most kilometers in the team. I know that Doué covered 15 kilometers in the final, it’s huge.

But hey, we try to move forward and work" tutur Ousmane Dembele, penyerang Timnas Prancis kepada media Marca.

Mantan pemain Barcelona itu menegaskan bahwa ia sanggup mengemban tugas di berbagai posisi taktis yang diinstruksikan oleh pelatih untuk membongkar pertahanan lawan secara dinamis.

"I can do a bit of both. In March, I played there too when the coach put in place a system where the attackers stood out a lot and where we didn’t have many players in the France team capable of playing on the right, on the left or as a center forward. We also try to destabilize the opponent a little and be less predictable to have many more options. And yes, in the French team, I can play on the left, right or in the center, a bit like at Paris Saint-Germain." pungkas Ousmane Dembele.

Guna menjaga keseimbangan dari skema ofensif ini, Deschamps memasang Aurelien Tchouameni dan Adrien Rabiot sebagai jangkar lini tengah demi memberikan stabilitas pertahanan di depan kiper Mike Maignan serta duet bek tengah Dayot Upamecano dan William Saliba.
