Jeremy Jacquet has said he can still get better despite an impressive senior debut for France against Belgium.
Jacquet made his first appearance for the national team during the 1-0 win over Belgium in the UEFA Nations League on Monday night.
The Liverpool defender was included in the France squad for the first time this month, following an eye-catching adaptation to the Premier League.
The 21-year-old helped France to a clean sheet on debut, and led his teammates for tackles (4) in an accomplished performance. Jacquet also won 6/9 defensive duels, completed 91.8% of his passes, and had the joint-most passes into the final third (10).

“I’m keeping my feet on the ground” – Jeremy Jacquet shines on France debut but vows to improve after Belgium win
Despite a strong showing on debut for Les Bleus, Jacquet insisted he was not satisfied and outlined his desire to improve.
“I’m thinking about two or three times in the attacking phase when I could have done much better with my passing.
“I’m not going to get into whether I’ll become a starter. I’m taking my time and keeping my feet on the ground.
“I’m asked to play, I’m given instructions and I try to follow them. I’ve got my head screwed on.”
