Expect insightful analysis, cultural chat, beaucoup d’humour britannique and… a certain je ne sais quoi.
New faces, a more technical midfield and Kylian Mbappé on the left: what do Zinedine Zidane’s first decisions tell us about the France team he wants to build?
Matt Spiro is joined by French journalist Karim Baldé and the commentator Andy Scott for a deep dive on Les Bleus, drawing on their knowledge of French football to assess the changes and look beyond the excitement surrounding Zidane.
We discuss:
• His selection decisions, including Da Cunha, Diouf and Lepaul
• The search for a more technical, fluid midfield
• Cherki’s deeper role, Mbappé’s move to the left wing
• Whether the early signs are encouraging
• How good actually is Zidane as a manager
