Zinédine Zidane leads full squad training session ahead of tactical shifts
Zinédine Zidane has conducted a full-squad training session following an earlier session limited to 12 players. Reports indicate the team may transition to a 4-3-3 formation for upcoming matches.
Following an initial training period that involved only 12 players, French national team manager Zinédine Zidane oversaw a full-squad practice session on Tuesday. The session marks a return to full availability for the roster, allowing the coaching staff to implement more comprehensive tactical preparations.
Speculation regarding the team's tactical direction has emerged, with reports suggesting Zidane is considering a shift to a 4-3-3 formation. This potential change would likely see Kylian Mbappé positioned on the left wing, while Ousmane Dembélé is expected to take on the role of the primary striker. These adjustments are viewed as part of a broader effort to optimize the team's offensive output and tactical flexibility. While the training session proceeded with the full roster, the official starting lineup and final tactical decisions remain subject to change as the team continues its preparations.
