Zidane bets on seven Blues, Breton attack wins more favour

Under Zinedine Zidane's new tenure, the Bleus have accumulated three wins and a draw, while Ludovic Ajorque's Breton club impresses in Ligue 1, offering a striking contrast between international freshness and budding local power.

Zidane, a former midfielder, wanted to break with his predecessor by imposing a new tactical system, a different philosophy, and opening the door to new faces.

He called up seven new players, including Guillaume Restes between the posts, Lenny Yoro, Jérémy Jacquet and Andy Diouf in defence, Lucas Da Cunha in midfield and Esteban Lepaul up front.

The first five generally satisfied, with a special mention for Jérémy Jacquet and Lucas Da Cunha, while Esteban Lepaul struggled in his two starts against Belgium.

Many observers feel that the young Breton striker is too slight for the tricolour shirt.

The Breton wind blows into the Bleus

Julien Lachuer, analyst, advocates for the inclusion of Ludovic Ajorque, who opened the scoring in the ninth minute against Angers, delivering an XXL performance and a true showcase as a pivot.

This contrast between the Bleus' freshness under Zidane and Ajorque's brilliance shows that the manager could still broaden his squad, mixing young talents with players already convincing at club level.
