Digne credits Emery for elevating his game to the next level

Digne, 31, did not get a chance to play during France's 3-1 loss to Italy on Friday, however, he did play the full 90 minutes in their 2-0 victory over Belgium.

“Oh dear, all that is far away! I first plan for the next match and the next deadlines with my club. I already want to show that I have my place in this group,” Digne explained about playing at the World Cup in 2026.

“The arrival of coach Emery made me reach the next level. I have a very good feeling with him. 

“He gave me a great deal of advice and I evolved, tactically, regarding positioning. For instance, he taught me how to better angle my body during defensive plays.”
