周五晚上，基利安·姆巴佩打进了他的第67个国际比赛进球，帮助法国队以1-0战胜土耳其队，从而成功开启了齐内丁·齐达内作为主教练的执教生涯。
Kylian Mbappé scored his 67th international goal on Friday night to propel France to a 1-0 victory over Turkey in the 2027 Nations League and successfully launch Zinedine Zidane's reign as head coach.
在联赛A组的首场比赛中，姆巴佩在第56分钟于伊兹密特进球，打破了土耳其队在下半场开始后的攻势。这位27岁的皇家马德里前锋接应了迈克尔·奥利塞的传球，将球射入了土耳其队门将乌古尔詹·恰克尔的球门。
Mbappé scored in the 56th minute in Izmit to quell Turkey's domination after the half-time break in the League A Group 1 opener. The 27-year-old Real Madrid striker gathered Michael Olise's pass and slotted the ball past the Turkey goalkeeper Ugurcan Çakır.
然而几分钟后，姆巴佩因膝盖受伤不得不离场。尽管如此，法国队依然掌控了比赛主动权；在第87分钟，恰克尔因在罚球区外犯规被红牌罚下，这进一步限制了土耳其队扳平比分的机会。尽管处于劣势，土耳其队仍奋力进攻，但法国队成功守住了球门。
But minutes later, Mbappé left the fray nursing a knee injury. After his departure, France controlled the game and Turkey hampered their chances to draw level when Çakır was sent off for handling the ball outside the penalty area in the 87th minute. Despite their disadvantage, Turkey pushed for the equaliser but France held off the assaults on their goal.
在另一场比赛中，比利时队以2-0战胜了意大利队，标志着马克·范博梅尔正式开始他的教练生涯。这位49岁的教练曾在PSV埃因霍温、AC米兰、巴塞罗那和拜仁慕尼黑效力，接替了曾带领比利时队打进世界杯四强的鲁迪·加西亚。在罗马奥林匹克体育场，巴黎圣日耳曼前锋米卡·戈茨在上半场为比利时队首开纪录；第69分钟，多迪·卢克巴基奥为比利时队再添一球，将比分优势扩大到2-0。
Belgium launch van Bommel In the pool's other game, Belgium's players marked Mark van Bommel's debut as coach with a 2-0 victory in Italy. The 49-year-old, who played for PSV Eindhoven, AC Milan, Barcelona and Bayern Munich during a 21-year career, took over from Frenchman Rudi Garcia after he guided Belgium to the World Cup quarter-finals. The Paris Saint-Germain striker Mika Godts opened the scoring for Belgium mid way through the first-half at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. Zidane stresses role as second fiddle to France players ahead of Turkey clash And Dodi Lukébakio doubled the advantage in the 69th minute. On 28 September in Brussels, Belgium entertain France while Turkey host Italy.
9月28日，比利时队将在布鲁塞尔迎战法国队；而齐达内作为法国队主教练的首场主场比赛将于10月2日在法国体育场举行——正是在这里，他在1998年世界杯决赛中攻入两球，帮助法国队以3-0战胜巴西队，赢得了他们的第一个世界杯冠军。10月5日，法国队将在同一场地迎战比利时队，这是他们在该小组赛中的第四场比赛。“我并不追求关注。”齐达内表示。
Zidane's first home game as France coach comes on 2 October, when his side welcome Italy to the Stade de France – the arena where his two goals in the 1998 World Cup final inspired France to a 3-0 victory over Brazil and their first World Cup trophy. France then host Belgium at the same venue on 5 October for their fourth game in the group. 'Not looking for the attention' Accustomed to a life in the spotlight, Zidane said he expected even more scrutiny once the squad returned to France. "No, it doesn't annoy me," he said.
习惯了生活在聚光灯下的齐达内表示，当球队回到法国后，他预料到自己会受到更多的关注。
"I think you just have to accept things as they are. I'm not looking for the attention. That's not why I'm here.
“不，这并不会让我感到烦恼，”他说，“我觉得我们只能接受现实。我并不是为了吸引人们的注意才来到这里的。我的目标只是与我的队友们一起努力，制定出能够帮助我们赢得比赛的战术方案——这才是我最关心的。”
"I'm going to try to do my job with my players, try to put something in place that will allow us to win matches. That's what interests me. That's what interests me most."
