Zidane France no media parade Clairefontaine

No journalists at Clairefontaine on Monday. That's the call from Zinedine Zidane, and it's the very first thing he's done as France coach. The Bleus won't do their traditional arrival parade in front of cameras. Zidane and his technical staff want a tighter hold on those opening days of concentration, and the players shielded from lenses as much as they can manage. Which makes sense once you remember what that arrival had turned into over the past few years. Outfits, photos, videos, social media mess. Less a squad reporting for duty than a runway. So the new stage starts here: less show on the outside, more focus on the inside. First decision from the man in charge and it's already got people talking. RMC Sport
