The move was orchestrated by Zinedine Zidane as he introduced several young talents to the squad. Jacquet, who joined Liverpool from Rennes, has been making a significant impact since his transfer and proved his mettle with a dominant display during his France debut.

He emphasized that he is simply taking his time and not overthinking his role within the team. Jacquet mentioned that he is given instructions and aims to execute them as directed.",
