Zidane did something at the squad announcement that hasn't happened in French football since 1973

Zinédine Zidane announced the French national team's squad for upcoming Nations League matches against Italy and Turkey, featuring stars like Kylian Mbappé and new call-up Pablo Pagis. Despite some absences, the team includes notable players such as Rayan Cherki and Adrien Rabiot. Pagis, a 23-year-old forward from Paris FC, is the first player from the club to be selected since 1973. Zidane expressed interest in evaluating Pagis due to another player's injury. Pagis has shown impressive performance in Ligue 1, scoring ten goals and providing five assists last season, contributing to his team's success. He joined Paris FC for around 16 million euros this summer and has quickly become a key player.
