Bleus keep arrivals private at Clairefontaine as Zidane era begins | OneFootball

The France squad made a low-key entrance to Clairefontaine for their first meet-up under Zinédine Zidane, with a revised arrivals routine and largely understated outfits, though a few players showcased distinct style.

According to L'Équipe, the customary Clairefontaine catwalk was held away from journalists and photographers on Monday after the new head coach revised an arrival ritual that had turned into a fashion fixture. Media access was barred, and the first images were released exclusively by the French Football Federation.

Among those keeping it simple were Estéban Lepaul, Lucas Da Cunha, Maxence Lacroix, Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembélé.

Jules Koundé again drew the eye, in keeping with his taste for carefully assembled looks.

Manu Koné and Ibrahima Konaté also made an impression, with Konaté even turning up in a tie.
