France closed their first international window under Zinédine Zidane with a statement victory at the Stade de France, overturning Belgium 4-1 on Monday night in the fourth round of the Nations League.
The result capped a successful first gathering for Zidane as France head coach, with Michael Olise among the players involved in the comeback against the Belgians.
France had to recover from an early setback before taking control of the contest and eventually opening up a three-goal margin. The four-goal display provided an emphatic finish to the October international break and strengthened the positive early mood around Zidane’s new era with Les Bleus.
France finish the break in style
Monday’s win was France’s fourth Nations League fixture of the campaign and came in front of their home crowd at the Stade de France.
Zidane addressed the media after the match following another victory for the national team. France will now return their players to club duty after a first international break that ended with a convincing result against one of Europe’s leading sides.
