Zidane: We are a great team and love big games

France's manager Zinedine Zidane expects a difficult match against Belgium in the UEFA Nations League but believes his team is ready for another big challenge.

He confirmed that France will make changes to their starting line-up because of the busy schedule and the amount of travelling involved. He also said that the team are preparing seriously despite having limited time to train.

Belgium will also have a new manager in Marc van Bommel, while Zidane highlighted the quality of their squad and their performances at the 2026 World Cup.

“We know a difficult match awaits us, but that is exactly what makes it interesting. We are a great team and we love big games, and this is exactly that,” Zidane said.
