NEW RULE FROM ZIDANE IN THE FRENCH NATIONAL TEAM

French National Team manager Zinedine Zidane made a striking decision to increase discipline within the team. According to the news shared by Actu Foot, the successful coach stated that he does not want the media members to photograph or film the players as they arrive at the national team camp. Believing that this welcoming ritual, which has been going on for many years and has almost turned into a fashion show due to the intense interest of the press, damages the team's concentration process, Zidane decided to ban this practice completely. The relaxed attitudes of the footballers and the interesting designer clothes they wear when they join the camp being discussed more than necessary in the public drew the reaction of the technical staff. Zinedine Zidane argued that this situation led to a great lack of seriousness within the team and that the players moved away from the football atmosphere they should actually focus on. In line with this new decision, it was learned that new restrictions would be imposed on media members entering the camp facilities and in the player reception areas. National team officials gave signals that this ban could be expanded to include the players' social media posts at those moments. This uncompromising and strict attitude of Zidane resonated widely in the French sports press and was welcomed by sports authorities in terms of team discipline. The experienced coach clearly demanded his players to focus only on training.
