Why this matchup matters

Two football ideas, one impossible night

Didier Deschamps's France 2026 bring 4-3-3 and vertical counter with athletic midfield. Luciano Spalletti's Napoli 2022/23 answer with 4-3-3 and high press with wide forwards; the matchup is decided by which side can impose that identity without exposing its weakest transition.
