Jeremy Jacquet “Generally Happy” After Outstanding France Debut

Brussels, Belgium - Jeremy Jacquet, the 21-year-old rising star of Liverpool, made his debut for the French national team on Monday night against Belgium in the UEFA Nations League. Coach Zinedine Zidane gave the young centre half an opportunity to prove his mettle, and Jacquet rose to the occasion, contributing to a clean sheet and a 1-0 victory over Belgium.

Following the match, Jacquet expressed his satisfaction with the result, acknowledging that while he could have improved in a few moments, the overall performance was commendable. Despite being a highly touted young defender who joined Liverpool in the summer, Jacquet had only started 21 games for Rennes in Ligue 1 last season due to an injury.

Prior to that, he had only 11 games for Rennes and 17 for Clermont in Ligue 2. However, Jacquet's impact at Liverpool has been immediate, and he now plays alongside Virgil van Dijk in defense. The coach gave Jacquet the chance to prove himself two days before the match, and the young player has impressed both in his debut and in subsequent games.

According to Jacquet, the coach likes to give everyone a chance to prove themselves, and so far, everyone has taken that chance. He further added that Zidane is very close to the team, and he always speaks calmly.
