Zidane Admits France’s Defensive Problems After Italy Defeat | APT Sports

France head coach Zinedine Zidane has reacted after suffering his first defeat in charge of Les Bleus, as Italy came from behind to secure a 3-1 victory in the UEFA Nations League at San Siro. France took an early lead through Michael Olise, but Italy responded with goals from Pio Esposito and Davide Frattesi. Esposito then converted a late penalty to complete his brace and seal the comeback. After the match, Zidane admitted that France were less effective defensively, particularly in the second half, and said his team needed to analyse their performance without the ball. The result ended his unbeaten start as France manager and moved Italy above France at the top of Nations League Group A1. #Zidane #France #Italy #NationsLeague #ItalyVsFrance #PioEsposito #FootballNews #LesBleus #azzurri
