French team: three players scored points ahead of Zinedine Zidane

Zinedine Zidane held his first training sessions as France manager at Clairefontaine, shifting the squad from Didier Deschamps' 4-2-3-1 setup to a 4-3-3 formation. Ahead of France's Nations League match against Turkey, Zidane focused tactical drills on quick passing and diagonal plays. Only Kylian Mbappé was absent from the session due to a flu syndrome.

According to L'Équipe, Michael Olise, Lucas Da Cunha, and Rayan Cherki impressed Zidane during training and earned direct praise from the coach. Zidane reportedly held a personal discussion with Da Cunha, showing strong appreciation for the Como midfielder's style of play in the new three-man midfield setup.
