Jacquet wants more despite a successful debut with the Blues

During the Nations League match between Belgium and France on Monday in Belgium, the Blues secured a 0‑1 victory. Jérémy Jacquet, a twenty‑one‑year‑old Liverpool defender, made his debut for the French national team, but is not completely satisfied.

An effective pivot

Alongside Maxence Lacroix, the partnership formed by the two youngsters neutralised the Belgian attack. Charles De Ketelaere, Belgium’s forward, lived a nightmare, silenced by the French defence from the opening minutes.

Jérémy Jacquet, 21, honoured his first start by repelling the attacks of the Red Devils. His performance was judged solid, receiving a 7/10 rating from RMC Sport.

Jacquet wants to improve

‘Satisfied? No. I think back to two or three offensive balls that I recover and where I could have done better,’ the young defender told TF1. He emphasised that he believes he can improve his offensive contribution.

Two days before the match, Zinedine Zidane informed him of his start, noting that the coach wanted to prepare him early. Jacquet praised the manager’s work, who, in his view, gives young players a voice and is not afraid to field inexperienced players.

He added that he is taking his time, does not want to ‘get a big head’, and keeps a cool head thanks to his family’s support. ‘What will be, will be,’ he concluded, recalling his ambition to progress without rushing.
