MARSEILLE, France (AP) " In a bid to add more speed and urgency to his team, France coach Didier Deschamps could make tactical changes for Wednesday's European Championship match against Albania. We'll try to break," said Albania coach Gianni De Biasi, whose team beat France 1-0 a year ago in Elbasan after drawing 1-1 in Rennes in late 2014. Deschamps could rest Pogba and Griezmann against Albania and ditch his favored 4-3-3 for a more dynamic 4-2-3-1 formation, with Martial and Coman supporting striker Olivier Giroud. Against an Albania side that is likely to sit back and counterattack, the 4-3-2-1 formation looks threatening because it allows France to play with a more direct approach. It also frees Payet to find central positions to unlock Albania with through balls to Giroud, or behind their fullbacks for the wingers.
