Set pieces have already been a focus of work for Zinédine Zidane since his arrival at the head of the France team. As reported The Teamthe coach wants to make the Blues progress in this area, which can still be improved after several years. A mission entrusted largely to his assistant David Bettoni, particularly attached to these phases of play. Zidane recognizes, however, that his staff has not yet had enough time to work on this aspect since taking office: “We work on this as a team with the staff, but it is mainly my assistant, David Bettoni, who takes charge of this because he is particularly attached to these phases of play. We have not yet had much time to work on our set pieces, but it is a very important aspect for me, of course. »
The former Real Madrid coach had, however, made set pieces a real weapon with the Merengues, being able to count on Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Sergio Ramos and even Cristiano Ronaldo. With the Blues, Zidane must now adapt to different profiles and new solutions are already being worked on. Against Italy, the French team sought to further exploit the technical qualities of its offensive players, with several elements positioned outside the area on corners. Therefore, this reflection must now continue in order to make the Blues more effective in this sector. Why not this evening against Belgium, at the Stade de France.
