While Zinédine Zidane had made the strong choice to select many new faces, like Andy Diouf on the left flank, it was Adrien Truffert who scored points during this first rally. Indeed, he is one of the big winners of Zinédine Zidane’s first rally at the head of the France team. As reported The Teamthe Bournemouth left-back started both matches against Turkey and Italy. Very active in his lane, he multiplied the races, showed himself available and won the majority of his duels, despite some waste. His volume of play and his reliability seem to have convinced the new coach.
Already called up for the first time in 2022, Truffert now appears to have taken a head start in the hierarchy of French left-backs. Indeed, according to the analysis of Benoît Trémoulinas, who believes that his large volume of play allows him to constantly propose solutions and that he “will count in the future with the Blues thanks to its reliability”. A particularly important quality for Zidane, who wants to be able to count on a full-back capable of multiplying the climbs and returns behind Kylian Mbappé, called to play in this same left lane. His direct competitor, Andy Diouf, could also start this evening against Belgium, at the Stade de France.
