Aurélien Tchouaméni's place in the French national team is under threat

Zidane, who did not select him in his first squad call, prefers to set up a 4-3-3 system with technical profiles like Lucas Da Cunha, who has impressed with his technical qualities and his passing game. Zidane explains: "What do I expect from a midfielder? He is not afraid to play, he screens passes."

Da Cunha, deployed as a holding midfielder in front of the defense, won people over with his technical quality during the matches against Belgium and Italy. Despite a mistake on the Italian equalizer, Zidane refuses to put the blame on a single player: "When there is a mistake, it is everyone's fault."

Tchouaméni must now prove his worth against the new technical profiles that Zidane favors. His absence during his return to physical fitness could cost him dearly in the team.
