France's coach, Zinedine Zidane, plans to shake up the national team's starting lineup for the upcoming match against Belgium. "The important thing is to prepare well for the game so we can do what we want on the field. That's what matters to me. There will definitely be changes. This is our fourth game, and we can't afford to make random choices," Zidane stated.

The former Real Madrid manager emphasized that any tactical adjustments will be strategic and aimed at maintaining the team's competitiveness. "We'll make intelligent changes, and above all, we'll do it to be competitive," he added, stressing that the modifications won't compromise the squad's performance.

For Inter Milan supporters, the focus is on Andy Diouf. The Inter-owned player has been called up by Zidane and might see unconventional use at left-back. After his senior national team debut in the initial group stage game against Belgium, the 2002-born midfielder hopes to feature again in the second encounter against Mark Van Bommel's Belgium.
