This marks the real start of the Zinedine Zidane era; naturally, there is a certain level of anticipation surrounding this match in an official competition—though one that doesn’t always generate massive excitement. The trip to Turkey represents a major test; nothing will come easily, even if the Turkish team has been somewhat disappointing in recent major tournaments. They certainly possess talent and fighting spirit.
It is up to Les Bleus to find solutions, though we can assume not everything will be perfect right away. Establishing a philosophy and building on-field chemistry takes time. However, the French squad is packed with top-tier players, most of whom have already played together extensively. Consequently, expectations are reasonably high.
