Zinédine Zidane exults over the French goal against the Devils

The French manager Zinédine Zidane burst with joy on Monday evening after the second consecutive victory for Les Bleus against Belgium, highlighting his active role during the match and recalling the goal scored at the end thanks to Michael Olise.

Zinédine Zidane arrived radiant at the press conference on Monday evening, his voice slightly hoarse. He said: “I shot and I must have been ridiculous,” laughing at his gesture.

During the match, the manager coached loudly and shouted at Michael Olise’s goal with two minutes left. His energy was perceived as a sign of confidence.

Now focusing on his first in France on Friday against an Italy close to his heart, Zidane is preparing before meeting the Red Devils in Paris next Monday.
