Zinédine Zidane decided to start Guillaume Restes in the French team’s goal against Belgium, thus offering the Toulouse goalkeeper his first start with the Blues. A decision taken by the coach at a press conference after the victory at the Stade de France, who appreciated the performance of his goalkeeper but also his behavior during the entire rally.
“He was great, not just during the match but throughout the course. My three goalkeepers were great. Even Jean Butez was impeccable in his work. I made this decision to play Guillaume because he needs to feel what it is like to play in the French team, not only in training but on the pitch, in a match, if anything happens with Mike (Maignan). »
