L’avis d’Adem : « Zidane ne doit pas construire son équipe autour de Mbappé » – 23/09
Summary
The episode debates Zinedine Zidane's strategy for the French national team, arguing he must avoid the error of building the squad solely around Kylian Mbappé. The hosts contend that Mbappé is most effective on the wing serving the collective, and that the team needs to empower Ousmane Dembélé as a leader and potential number nine. They discuss the failure of previous coaches to integrate Mbappé effectively and the need for a new 4-3-3 system that balances individual brilliance with team cohesion.
