Zinédine Zidane, the new head coach of the French national team, has introduced new playing strategies during his first international break, which have caught the attention of Luis Enrique, the coach of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). This break, which lasted three weeks, was longer than usual, giving coaches and players more time to reflect and prepare. Luis Enrique used the opportunity to observe Zidane's early decisions with the national team, known as Les Bleus. During a press conference before a match against Mans, Luis Enrique was asked about the performance of Ousmane Dembélé in the French team. He praised the player, saying, "For me, he was brilliant, as usual. He is always open to showing himself, to striking, to playing with his teammates. I think he was very well." Dembélé, a key player for both PSG and the national team, has been given a central role in Zidane's setup, similar to the position he plays for PSG. Some analysts have noted that Zidane's tactics resemble those used by PSG under Luis Enrique's leadership, particularly in how the team builds play and uses its midfield. When asked about this, Luis Enrique said he was not sure if there was a direct influence, but he admitted to enjoying what he saw. "When I saw the first matches of the French team, the ideas to win, to have the ball, to press, to be a real team..." he said, showing his approval. Luis Enrique acknowledged the challenges of coaching during a longer international break, noting that it gives less time to work directly with players and more time to analyze their performance. However, he was impressed by the quality of the players Zidane has selected. "The level of players he has called up, it has been very positive," he said, highlighting the strength of the squad.
