World Cup 2018: Why France will win lift the cup

#2 Formidable midfield trio

France's trio of Kante, Pogba and Matuidi is the one to beat. They have got pace, agility, experience and the stamina to give their best throughout the game. Kante will play the role of defensive midfielder and hence, will break the opposition's attack with his excellent tackling skills. Having represented France in 24 matches, he played a vital role for France in reaching the Euro 2016 finals.

He will also be responsible for creating the attack and passing the ball with perfect accuracy to Pogba and Matuidi. Matuidi, on the other hand, will be responsible for passing the ball fluently to attackers, will join the French attack and at the same time, due to his relentless stamina, will also have the duty of helping Kante during opposition's attack. He has made 67 appearances and scored 9 goals for France.

Paul Pogba will link-up with forwards, play as an attacking midfielder and look to provide through balls which will penetrate the opposition's defence. He will frequently come back to help the defence and will prove to be quite a dangerous player for the opposition. He has made 54 appearances and scored 9 goals for France.

Hence, France midfield trio will prove to be difficult for the opposition to take it on.
