With three wins and a draw for his first four matches as coach of the France team, Zinédine Zidane made his debut at the helm of the Blues in the Nations League. But more than the results, it is the still intact aura of the 1998 world champion which bluffs his former teammate in the selection, Robert Pirès.
“Zizou-mania exists, it is thereobserves the ex-Arsenal player, crossed by French Football Weekly on the sidelines of his jubilee Tuesday evening in Metz. We are talking about one of the greatest players that football has ever created. He has proven himself as a coach since he won a few trophies with Real Madrid and today he is our new coach. »
Zinédine Zidane, “fairly pleasant football” with the Blues
“In passing, we must not forget what Didier Deschamps didhe continues. It’s a new stage with quite pleasant football, players who are fantastic. We have a coach who is more than great. The proof, when we are at the Stade de France when the names of the players are announced, we realize that ‘Zizou’ is the one we cheer the most. »
“It’s also interesting for the players under his command to learn and progress”concludes Robert Pirès. The Tricolores occupy first place in their group with 10 points on the clock. They now have an appointment with Italy (November 12) and Turkey (November 15) to validate their place in the quarter-finals of the competition.
