Belgium vs France: Zinédine Zidane very wary of the Red Devils

Just hours before France take on Belgium, Zinédine Zidane showed that he is very wary.

Last Friday, Les Bleus secured a hard-fought win over Turkey (1-0). This Monday evening, Zinédine Zidane will face a tougher team in his second match as France manager. That team is Belgium.

💞🇫🇷 Zinedine Zidane: “I would have loved to play with a player like Rayan Cherki when I was a player!”.

“He finds such incredible passes, and he even knows how to play without the ball…”.

The match will be played at the King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels. The French manager is naturally wary of such an opponent. "France-Belgium matches are always interesting encounters between neighbours. We will have to give it our all. They played a very good match against Italy (2-0) on Friday. We were able to see that Belgium are a very good team. There are some very good players, so we know it will be a difficult match against them," Zinédine Zidane told RTL Sports.
