Jérémy Jacquet, a 21-year-old defender from Liverpool, made his second consecutive appearance with the French national team during the match against Italy, which ended in a 1-1 draw. His performance was highlighted by coach Zinédine Zidane, who praised Jacquet extensively, calling him "very good, very, very good" and noting his bravery, ability in one-on-one duels, and overall contribution to the team. Jacquet, who previously played for Stade Rennais, has demonstrated strong defensive skills, comfort on the ball, and the versatility needed for a top-level central defender. This match followed his debut with the French team after the win against Belgium. His current role at Liverpool has been crucial, as he is covering for the injured Virgil van Dijk, allowing him to gain valuable experience with the national team. Zidane struggled to find other words to describe Jacquet's performance and eventually admitted he used the phrase "very good" four times. With Van Dijk's injury and the absence of William Salibé, Jacquet has had the opportunity to showcase his abilities with France. If Dayot Upamecano remains suspended, Jacquet could be selected again for the upcoming match against Belgium, possibly playing alongside Maxence Lacroix. Jacquet expressed his happiness at receiving praise from Zidane, who is both a former top player and a respected coach at Real Madrid. He noted that he has a good relationship with Zidane and that the coach communicates with him when needed, indicating a positive and professional rapport between the two.
