On the eve of a night in Belgium, France’s attention turns to Zinédine Zidane and Eduardo Camavinga as they face the media before Les Bleus’ next Nations League test.
Key takeaways
- France will play Belgium on Monday at 20:45 in the second round of the Nations League.
- Zidane will take charge of only his second competitive fixture as France head coach.
- Eduardo Camavinga will join the coach at the pre-match press conference.
- The pair are expected to discuss France’s preparation and the condition of the squad.
- France are looking to build on Zidane’s first victory in charge.
France seek to extend early momentum
The trip to Belgium is Zidane’s immediate challenge after a winning start in his new role with the national team. Monday’s match offers France the chance to preserve that momentum before a busy early-October sequence.
Les Bleus are scheduled to meet Italy on 3 October before facing Belgium again two days later, on 5 October. The current meeting therefore carries weight beyond one Nations League evening, with France seeking continuity in both results and preparation.
Camavinga joins Zidane before Belgium test
Camavinga will appear alongside Zidane before the squad travel for the match. The midfielder and his coach will answer questions on the team’s work ahead of the fixture and the physical state of the group.
For Zidane, the occasion is another early marker in his France tenure: a second official match, away from home, against familiar opposition and with the Nations League campaign moving quickly into its next phase.
