France's weak point identified, 6 days before clash against Senegal

A multi-hour meeting at Clairefontaine with the French Football Federation's technical staff, analysts, and physical trainers revealed a structural flaw in France's defensive balance.

The team becomes exposed centrally and on the flanks, which could be exploited by Senegal, known for its athletic power and offensive verticality.
