Head coach Le Ble spoke about the need for personnel rotation, sharing the emotions of a new role in the national team and assessing the threat from the Belgians in the upcoming League match.
The head coach of the French national team, Zinedine Zidane, is preparing his team for the final test - a match against Belgium, in order to take the lead in Group A1 of the League of Nations.
In advance, the mentor made it clear that those looking to improve the new team, and he himself expressed great satisfaction with the work of the team. Zidan's team finished their last match at the Stade de France in a draw with Italy (1:1).
Before that, France experienced serious personnel losses: attack leader Kylian Mbappe died due to a knee injury, and defender Dayot Upamekano missed the game through disqualification. In this situation, the coaching staff is hesitating to rely on deep reserves.
" This is our fourth match, and we can’t just splurge with this very warehouse. We are making reasonable changes, and, first of all, we are making so that we can be competitive,” explained Zidan.
The French chef emphasized that rotation is another way to maintain the microclimate of the dressing room:.
“This is in order to show that we are all recruited, and that all the soldiers are dedicated to this team, in order to demonstrate that the French team has great competition,” added Kermanich.
Having replaced Diedier Deschamps (who was in charge of the 14-year-old team), Zidan knows that his new role will bring new tension. Regardless of the intensity of the club's practice, the coach is familiar with the format of national training camps.
" It is my duty to sense this tension. I love the ones I love the most - those with gravels, with this group. You can do it yourself, but work with the national team and compete with the club team. I was given a good job, but today I have a different role, but my duty to work in harmony with the team has not changed,” Zinedin stated emphatically.
The coach also didn’t feel any emotion until the process was completed:.
“It was wonderful to spend 15 days with the Gravians, and I feel a sense of disappointment at the thought of the end of this period. We still have to earn the rest of the test in order to deprive the tabir of happy ones,” he said.
This test is expected to be difficult. Belgium under the leadership of Mark van Bommel immediately takes six points and sits in another place in the group.

And the Belgians want to play without their disqualified leaders - captain Jury Tielemans and Kevin De Bruyne - Zidan miraculously remembers the importance of the French victory in Brussels (1:0) and gives his due.
“They played really well in the first match against us and created tactical difficulties for us. The smells are great. In the game against Turecchini (the Belgians won 3:0 - approx.. ) they created problems for the opposition, so the stench is strong both collectively and individually,” said the head coach of the French national team.
