Ousmane Dembélé: Doubts to Dispel

Ousmane Dembélé, who hasn't scored in the team's last three matches, received strong backing from coach Zinédine Zidane, who values his contribution to the game. Dembélé himself appears calm and confident he can turn his form around against Belgium on Monday.

Saturday Focused on Recovery for Les Bleus

Following their draw against Italy, the players, excluding Upamecano who returned to his club, began their day with a light cycling session in the forest late morning. This 45-minute ride was at a relaxed pace. Afterward, the squad split into two groups: those who started against Italy underwent a recovery program including massages, baths, and strength training. The others participated in a session on the Platini field, featuring drills like 'toro,' 'tennis ball,' and individual practice.

Hello Everyone

After securing two away wins, Zinédine Zidane's return to the Stade de France for the Nations League match against Italy wasn't a complete success, as Les Bleus were held to a 1-1 draw. The team's performance was described as rather lackluster.

There's no time to dwell on the past, as the French team faces Belgium in their final match of this international break, also at the Stade de France, on Monday at 8:45 PM. A press conference with the coach is scheduled for Sunday.
