00:00And as for what I imagine to be Deschamps' starting eleven this summer at the World Cup, I
00:03I think we'll have Mbappé as number 9.
00:04We'll discuss it when I present my starting eleven, but honestly, I think Deschamps,
00:08He's not going to be bored.
00:09He'll think that having Mbappé as a number 9 at Real Madrid works rather well.
00:12It's true that we know Mbappé can play on the left wing; we've even seen him play there.
00:15That.
00:16But the thing is, it's been two years now that Mbappé has been established in the number 9 position.
00:19Even at Paris Saint-Germain, he played in the number 9 position.
00:21And even though Mbappé has been heavily criticized for many things, sometimes, even often, with good reason.
00:26Well, Mbappé, he's number 9, he scores his goals, he's the captain of the French team, he has
00:30A greater historical figure Ousmane Dembélé, a greater historical figure Ousmane Dembélé.
00:34So I think the number 9 position will be taken by Kylian Mbappé this summer.
00:37And so, it goes without saying, but Dembélé will most certainly be on the right.
00:40So on the right, of course, Dembélé, it's not a position he's unfamiliar with, he's played on the right before.
00:43a good part of his career as well.
00:45It wasn't until 2025 that Luis Enrique had the brilliant idea of putting him back in the position of
00:49number 9, or rather, a false 9.
00:50But before this tactical choice, just like Mbappé, we knew Ousmane Dembélé in his early days, on the wing.
00:54Another obvious choice is of course Michael Olizé who will be number 10.
00:59Olizé is having an absolutely tremendous season at Bayern Munich.
01:01Perhaps if Bayern had reached the Champions League final, Olizé could have been indispensable for
01:04the Ballon d'Or.
01:05I'd even go so far as to say that, in reality, if PSG doesn't win the Champions League and
01:09that France won the World Cup with a huge Olizé,
01:11Well, in reality, the Ballon d'Or can surprise people.
01:13We saw Leo Messi in 2022 win a Ballon d'Or with a mere Round of 16 appearance.
01:17Champions League.
01:18But since he had won the World Cup, well, he got the Ballon d'Or.
01:20And anyway, regarding the choices I mentioned earlier, well, Olizé can play either as a number 10,
01:24either the right side.
01:24The right side is taken by Dembélé because that same number 9 spot is taken by Mbappé.
01:28So it's obvious, but I think Michael Olizé will be number 10.
01:31And on the left, well, I'm not really sure.
01:33I think we could have Bradley Barcola, it wouldn't surprise me.
01:36I think we could have Ryan Cherky, off-kilter, why not.
01:39He's so versatile that I wouldn't even be surprised to have Doué as the 3rd choice on the left.
01:43Finally, I don't really know who's going to play on the left in reality.
01:45I still think Barcola is the favorite, Cherky maybe.
01:49Okay, Doué, I'm doing some interpreting.
