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 Mika Godts takes one last shiver into the tricolor area, but the referee does not indicate the penalty point (90th + 3).
#FOOT Zizou, where is he going? It's crazy the state he got himself into!
Zidane celebrated the goal furiously along the sidelines. In his momentum, the former number 10 of the Blues fired a powerful shot into a ball.
#FOOT Deliverance finally came. Coming off the bench paid off for Michael Olise who had not scored with the Blues since his hat-trick against Northern Ireland before flying off to the American World Cup. He scored his 8th goal in 27 caps.
#FOOT BUUUUT FOR THE FRANCE TEAM! Michael Olise breaks through on the right side, covers more than 30 meters and concludes with a very well placed curling shot on the ground, from the entrance to the penalty area (88th - 1-0).
#FOOT The pace has dropped. The France team got their foot back on the ball, but the spark was missing (87th – 0-0).
#FOOT Belgium is shifting the standoff to its side. Be careful not to lose track of the evening!
#FOOT Another quick Belgian attack that sets things on fire! Dodi Lukébakio manages to realign himself, but his shot is too axial to deceive the vigilance of Mike Maignan, even if the French goalkeeper tries twice to catch the ball (78th - 0-0).
#FOOT Bradley Barcola really doesn't have a good match. He is replaced by Michael Olise. For his part, Rayan Cherki takes the place of Maghnes Akliouche.
#FOOT Belgium also misses the opener! Mike Maignan comes out at the feet of Dodi Lukébakio at the end of a very well-led counterattack by the Belgians... (73rd - 0-0).
#FOOT Ousmane Dembélé enters the game! The Golden Ball replaces a frustrated Estéban Lepaul (68th – 0-0).
