Jeremy Jacquet is taking everything in his stride for Liverpool and France. Just ask Zinedine Zidane

Jeremy Jacquet says his first week with the France senior squad—and his first month at Liverpool—has exceeded expectations. Speaking after France drew 1-1 with Italy in the UEFA Nations League on Friday, the 21-year-old defender credited the experience of training with top players and said he is “trying to make the most of every moment.” In the mixed zone at the Stade de France, he was told his new head coach, Zinedine Zidane, has been praising him. Zidane highlighted Jacquet’s bravery, willingness to press high, and duels, repeating his assessment four times. Jacquet’s Italy stats included two interceptions, two clearances, two recoveries, four duels won, and 79 passes completed out of 80.
