France/Belgium: after trailing for 1 hour and 15 minutes, the Blues managed to break through the Red Devils' organized defense
Belgium, under Mark Van Bommel, started strong. - ZZ's coaching proved effective. Olise, who scored twice, Da Cunha, and Doué brought energy! The end of the match was rich in goals, with 4 scored in 15 minutes. (final score 4-1) - A halftime filled with both satisfaction and disappointment. Ousmane Dembélé, expected to be an offensive leader, lacked clarity! Barcola, lacking impact? Lepaul, still in a learning phase? - Scorers from the Zidane era: intentions, a desire to play high, extensive use of the bench. A dominance that needs to be turned into control? The French faced more difficulties against Italy. What lessons for the new coach?
100% Zidane
This is the title of the book by Gérard Ejnès and Alexandre Fieviée, published by Solar. The goal is to compose the story of Zizou through his own words. Richly illustrated, this book traces the impressive career of the 54-year-old Marseille native, from his youth in Castellane to his role as a coach. "Carefree," the peaks as a player, a "second life" after hanging up his boots.
A "monumental!" career
In a few hours, the Pulga will close the chapter of his rich history with the national team. "El Monumental," the stadium in Buenos Aires, could witness Leo Messi score a final free-kick against the Leopards, in front of 85,000 spectators. A last appearance in the Albiceleste jersey that promises to be filled with emotions. The Beninese team, led by Gernot Rohr, thrilled to experience a magical interlude, strolled through the streets of the Argentine capital, but they are not there for tourism!
To discuss with Annie Gasnier: Jean-Philippe Bouchard, Dominique Sévérac, and Hervé Penot. Technical/production: Philippe Randrianantenaina, coordination: Pierre Guérin.
