Press review: happy Zidane’s shake-up works, Da Cunha shines | OneFootball

This Wednesday, September 30, the French press (from a sporting perspective) had nothing directly related to Paris Saint-Germain to mention. The French national team is the main topic, focusing on both the methods and happiness of head coach Zinedine Zidane, and on Lucas Da Cunha (the 25-year-old Como midfielder), who made a successful debut for Les Bleus against Belgium.

Unsurprisingly, everything coming out is positive after 2 wins in the first 2 matches. Zidane can get off to a calm start and be satisfied with what he is seeing. The signs in the team’s overall play are encouraging. The media are emphasizing this all the more because of these results.

Likewise, the squad rotation, which could have been criticized in the event of a draw, was perfectly logical after a first match on Friday. There were only 2 days of rest, the squad is deep, so it made sense to rotate and give everyone confidence. There is nothing particularly unusual about that. But everything becomes noteworthy when there is a new coach somewhere.

As for Da Cunha, his first call-up was a success and that deserves to be highlighted. Even if his breakthrough has come a little late. Still, care should be taken not to get carried away or pile on the pressure too quickly or too heavily. But it certainly makes you want to see him again for confirmation.
