Bleus in kit: the parade at Clairefontaine before Italy

Twenty minutes were added A.H. and the broadcast images show the Blues' parade at Clairefontaine. After a three‑week international break at the end of September, the France team gathered on Monday at Clairefontaine to prepare for the matches against Italy and Turkey in the Nations League, while Rayan Cherki, Kylian Mbappé and Désiré Doué displayed their outfits.

The Blues' wardrobe parade

The car exit at the château allowed the players to showcase their most polished outfits, as at every gathering. Jules Koundé, absent due to injury, gave way to others to ensure the informal “parade.” Michael Olise, injured against Borussia Dortmund, was present despite doubts, dressed in an atypical style that leaves one perplexed.

Rayan Cherki chose a simple ensemble reminiscent of the character Neo, deemed effective by observers. Eduardo Camavinga sparked surprise by claiming to be a philosophy professor, a humorous remark. Kylian Mbappé, back after three absences following an injury against Turkey, sported fluorescent orange shoes with an all‑black outfit. Désiré Doué delivered a final masterful appearance against Belgium, whether with PSG or the Blues.

Tactical choices and Zidane's recalls

Robin Risser is going through difficult times with RC Lens after a 1‑9 defeat to Como and a 1‑2 loss to OM, both at Bollaert. This situation does not justify wearing a sleeveless down jacket.

Three major absences hit France ahead of the Nations League

Due to the absences of Dembélé, Akliouche and Lepaul, Zinédine Zidane recalled Marcus Thuram, Inter Milan player who has six goals in Serie A, dressed soberly.

Pablo Pagis of Paris FC was called up for the first time by the double Z, wearing a simple jersey highlighting sponsor Adidas.

Malo Gusto of Chelsea received the least‑inspired award with an outfit close to an unflattering jumpsuit. Ibrahima Konaté, injured early in the season, was recalled by the double Z and chose the classic jean‑and‑jacket combo.
