The former tricolor international, Christophe Dugarry, again expressed his reservations about the Deschamps style.
Christophe Dugarry is not a great admirer of Didier Deschamps as a coach. And, he never misses the opportunity to let it be known. Already very critical of his former teammate in Blue after the last World Cup in Qatar, he again attacked the tricolor boss before the 1e exit of the vice-world champions of the season (against Ireland).
Dugarry perceives a major project at the Blues of Deschamps
On RMC Sport, where he intervenes twice a week, Duga therefore let go on Thursday evening. While acknowledging that Deschamps has merits, he did not fail to once again highlight his restrictive style of play: “There is the prism of victory and results, and there Deschamps is the best. Then there is the prism of the quality of the game and the pleasure we take in watching this French team. And there are improvements to be made. A lot or not a lot, everyone will have an opinion.
The former OM and Bordeaux player also regrets that “there was no assessment made after the World Cup”. “It was considered by all to be successful. All right, we’re going to the final and that’s why it was successful. But, I don’t want us to go back to the fact that there was no self-criticism once again. This is a fairly recurring subject. I think there is a real job to be done. »

Koundé by no longer spared by the critics
Dugarry gives a lot of lessons, but what would change for him if he were ever a coach. “Fortunately I’m not, he quipped before continuing. I think Giroud needs a plan B. And there is a construction site at the right-back position, which must bring us quality. Koundé does not convince me. I only ask one thing of him, it is to pass forward, especially given the players he has in front of him.
