A BOOZED-UP France fan has shown off the team’s predicted starting XI and tactics on his body.
The well-inspired supporter has offered some advice to Didier Deschamps before the semi-final against Spain this evening.
Les Bleus have had an unimpressive time in Germany as they are yet to score an open goal in the tournament.
France secured their place in the last four after beating Portugal on penalties in the quarter-final.
Ahead of their match against Spain, a spirited fan offered advice to manager Deschamps by displaying his predicted starting XI and substitutes — painted onto his stomach.
The line-up reads a 4-3-2-1 formation with Mike Maignan between the sticks.
On his stomach it read “Kounde, Upamecano, Saliba, Hernandez, Kante, Tchouameni, Rabiot, Dembele, Kolo Muani, Mbappe.”
Meaning the fan has called for France to make two changes dropping Antoine Griezmann for Ousmane Dembele and Eduardo Camavinga for Adrien Rabiot.
France won the last clash against Spain at the 2021 Nations League final and then knocked La Roja out at the 2006 World Cup and Euro 2000.
They also beat the Spaniards in the Euro 1984 final, whereas La Roja’s only major tournament victory over France came at Euro 2012.

But Luis de la Fuente’s side beat hosts Germany in the quarters to continue their 100 per cent winning streak at the Euros this year.
However, they will need a major reshuffle after picking up a number of injuries and suspensions in their win over Germany.
Pedri is definitely out with a knee injury suffered just minutes in Stuttgart in a heavy challenge from Toni Kroos.
And they will also be without Dani Carvajal, who was sent off in the final minutes with over the Germans, and Robin Le Normand who picked up his second yellow card of the tournament.
Deschamps despite his side’s underwhelming start is over the moon to see his side reach the semi-final.
He said: “We have reached the semi-finals and that is an achievement, even if people expect us to get here.
“For me, it is pride in my players, even though not everything has been done perfectly. I would like to seize this moment and make the most of it.”
