Zinedine Zidane indicated he will mix up the roster when France face Belgium on Monday.
Les Bleus undertake their second fixture with their new head coach after the end of the 14-year reign of Didier Deschamps. His first bow in the dugout featured many familiar faces, and the talismanic Kylian Mbappé claimed all three points with the only goal of the game in a 1-0 victory over Turkey.
‘There are some great matches ahead’
The talent in the French ranks is the envy of the rest of the international scene — arguably even the World Cup-winning Spain side — so Zidane is not short on options to observe in the next fortnight.
He looks forward to seeing the quality at his disposal, demanding his players enjoy each moment.
Rotation ahead of Belgium
"There will definitely be changes. How many, you will see tomorrow. But yes, we knew we were going to play four matches in a very short period, especially this one between Turkey and Belgium, with the travel in between. So obviously, we are going to rotate the team a little.
"Everything is important, but the most important thing is getting to know one another.
"The idea is always to prepare the matches properly, even if we don't have much training time, and especially because we can also do things through video. And then, of course, it's about winning the match because we're all competitors and when we step onto the pitch, we want to win.
“There are some great matches ahead. You really have to enjoy the moment.
"That's what I tell them because football goes so quickly. Look, I'm 54, I'm here now and I can't play anymore. So, I tell them to enjoy the moment because it flies by, and the French national team is something so beautiful that I want them to experience these moments."
