UEFA Euro 2016: Greatest France XI

France's title-winning Euro 2000 squad

Formation

France have had so many versatile players that they've often experimented with many of the stars. Zinedine Zidane has played in many positions, Henry has played on either wing and up top and that's just naming only a few.

With the kind of players on this list, it's safe to say the best formation – one that brought out the best in everyone – is the 4-4-2. The defenders sort themselves out. In midfield, Zidane plays ahead of the other three on the list. Makelele being the one who sits behind the most. What this spells out is essentially a diamond who have dynamic passers who will almost always look at the two forwards.

Thierry Henry on the left and Trezeguet on the right just ahead of Zidane is what we think France would've worked best with.
