Zinedine Zidane has identified Paris Saint‑Germain forward Désiré Doué as the player who reminds him most of himself.

Speaking at a press conference on Friday, the France national team coach announced his squad for the upcoming Nations League fixtures and added that Doué’s attitude and talent stand out.

“For Désiré, he is incredibly talented, and he is a good listener,” Zidane said. “What I like is that he is eager to improve, eager to win honours.”

“I really like his performances on the field and his attitude. If I had to say, I see myself in him as I was back then, because I also yearned to improve and listened to the older players and those around me.”

Zidane’s comments underline the coach’s belief that Doué’s work ethic and desire to grow mirror his own early career ambitions.
