Why It Matters
Zinédine Zidane began his tenure as manager with two away victories (against Turkey and Belgium) and a home draw against Italy. He is now looking for his first victory at the Stade de France.
Objective first victory at the Stade de France for “Zizou” the coach. A week after their success on Belgian soil, on September 28 (1-0), the Blues meet the Red Devils, this time at the Stade de France, for the 4th day of the Nations League, Monday October 5 (8:45 p.m.). The end of Zinédine Zidane's first international window, who will reunite with his players for the last two matches on November 12 and 15 against Italy (in Milan) and Turkey (in Bordeaux).
• A first victory in France for Zidane? “Zizou” had four matches in this Nations League window to begin his tenure as coach. Two away victories (Turkey and Belgium) and a draw at home (Italy): all he needs is a victory at the Stade de France - his first on the Blues bench - to come out of this match with a smile and the lead in Group A, before the last two meetings in November.
• Break down the Belgian lock more quickly. A week ago in Brussels, the Blues had to wait until the 88th minute, and an individual exploit from Michael Olise, to leave the King Baudouin stadium with victory (1-0) despite a clear domination. To avoid a second match in a row without a victory, we will have to take cover more quickly against a team which had beaten the Blues during their last clash at the Stade de France, in a friendly in 2015 (3-4).
