The 21-year-old defender has adapted seamlessly to Andoni Iraola’s relentless tactical demands, quickly morphing from a promising prospect into arguably Liverpool’s standout player of the campaign alongside Virgil van Dijk.That rapid progression reached new heights during the current international window. Having already earned his maiden senior France cap in a 1-0 victory over Belgium, Jacquet retained his starting spot for Friday night’s UEFA Nations League clash against Italy in Paris.While France head coach Zinedine Zidane rotated his options earlier in the week, he selected Jacquet alongside first-choice centre-back Dayot Upamecano for the high-stakes encounter against the Azzurri.

Furthermore, journalists highlighted his proactive defending, noting that he "frequently pushed up high" to stifle Italian attacks, dominated aerial duels, and executed several "crucial interventions" including a pivotal block to divert a powerful Davide Frattesi strike.Beyond his raw physical capabilities, Jacquet’s progressive distribution truly caught the eye. Throughout the 90 minutes, he attempted several ambitious forward passes, remaining consistently accurate and remarkably composed under heavy Italian pressure.Speaking after the final whistle, Zidane offered a glowing endorsement that speaks volumes about Jacquet's astronomical ceiling."Very good.

He was once again very good," Zidane declared.Consequently, Zidane's glowing review underlines why Liverpool's recruitment team acted so decisively to seal his signature. At just 21 years of age, Jacquet possesses every physical and technical attribute needed to anchor the Reds' backline for the next decade.With Upamecano now suspended for Monday's return fixture against Belgium, Jacquet stands on the verge of making his third consecutive start for his country.
