Daily Digest: Dro, Nuno Mendes and Zidane set for France job | OneFootball

This Monday, March 23, the French press (on the sports side) focused on Paris Saint-Germain's rising star Dro Fernandez (18-year-old midfielder) and the attacking position of Nuno Mendes (23-year-old left-back). There's also the increasingly likely appointment of Zinedine Zidane as the coach of the French National Team after the 2026 World Cup.

Dro Fernandez had already shown some impressive technical skills and game vision, and this time he added a goal, earning him praise. He deserves it; his talent is clear. Now, it's also evident that he will need to toughen up in duels for the highest level. Nothing illogical at his age.

As for Nuno Mendes, it's not the first time coach Luis Enrique has adapted and given him a higher role on the field. He has the qualities to be useful there. However, he is not yet very comfortable playing with his back to the opponent's goal and remains particularly dangerous when on the move. We don't think the idea is to change his position permanently, especially since we shouldn't forget his strength in defensive duels, even though he still needs to improve his positioning.

Finally, Zidane is indeed expected to join the French National Team, as has been anticipated for quite some time. It will be a new era, and the expectations will be immense. Beware of potential disappointment.
