FranceCounted from the international goal archive — every scorer-credited goal in the matches it covers, 1916 to today. A record of covered matches, not a complete career count; own goals never join a scorer's tally.
Laurent Robert Blanc is a French professional football manager and former player who played as a centre-back. He last managed Saudi Pro League club Al-Ittihad. He has the nickname Le Président, which was given to him following his stint at Marseille in tribute to his leadership skills. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest defenders of all time. — Wikipedia

In the line-ups
18 appearances in recorded line-ups · 1992–2000The archive holds 18 team sheets naming Laurent Blanc in France's starting line-up, from 1992-06-10 to 2000-07-02.
18 appearances in the starting line-ups the archive holds — not a career total. Our line-up coverage is partial, so a match he played that we hold no sheet for is simply not counted here.
