• Direct Belgium-France: the Blues take control... Follow and comment on the Nations League match
France Télévisions - Sports Editorial
Three days after their short success in Türkiye (1-0), the Blues travel to Brussels on Monday with the idea of achieving a second success.
What you need to know
The first page of the Zinédine Zidane era has been written. Facing Turkey (1-0), the legend of French football began with a success for his debut as coach of the Blues, which had not happened since Aimé Jacquet in 1994. Now launched, he will try to guide the French team to a new victory, Monday September 28, against Belgium in Brussels, on the occasion of the second day of the League of Nations.
• Life without Kylian Mbappé. The only scorer during the trip to Izmit, the French captain left the group due to hyperextension of the left knee. We will have to do without the man who has scored in seven of the last nine international matches.
• Expected turnover. The latest press reports suggested that Zinédine Zidane had left to use other players in his group. Estéban Lepaul can be one of the beneficiaries of the absence of Kylian Mbappé. Andy Diouf, Jérémy Jacquet and Lucas da Cunha are waiting to celebrate their first selection.
• Belgium has not beaten France in an official match for 45 years. The Blues remain on seven wins in a row against this opponent (excluding friendly matches). We have to go back to September 9, 1981 to find the trace of a Belgian success, in qualifying for the World Cup (2-0).

#FOOT The curiosity of the evening on the Belgian side will be Mika Godts. The summer recruit from PSG did not really make an impression under the red and blue colors, but remains with a nice goal in the Belgian victory over Italy (2-0). He starts, alongside Kevin de Bruyne, Diego Moreira and Charles de Ketelaere.

#FOOT My friend Adrien Hémard-Dohain is not very optimistic and sees the Blues stumbling in Belgium: 2-1. For my part, I'm banking on a sluggish 1-1 draw, which will still have the merit of accelerating the integration of the new internationals. And you ?
