This is not the first international break of the Zinedine Zidane era as France manager, it’s the second.

But the long awaited change from Didier Deschamps to the former Real Madrid coach has had fans so excited that the novelty has yet to wear off.

After a positive impact in those first games, the new France coach is preparing for further, interesting Nations League games. He’s still very much in the stage of figuring out his team and his squad, and in L’Equipe today a former France star has made a prediction about the players who could play an important part for him.

Doue tipped as “mainstay” of Zidane era

“I think Désiré Doué will be one of the mainstays of the ‘ZZ’ generation,” Bixente Lizarazu said.

“He should now be placed in the same bracket as Mbappé, Dembélé and Olise, while acknowledging that he still has room to improve given his youth. He knows how to bring electricity to every touch, just like Olise.”

What a selection that is… we can see why Zidane took the job.

Doue is already a key man for PSG, and next comes his ascendancy with France. This break could be the one where he establishes himself as an undisputed starter for Zidane.
