While the possibility of a friendly match between France and Algeria resurfaces, Zinedine Zidane could participate in this poster…
It’s an evening that French football will not soon forget… On October 6, 2001, the French team hosted Algeria at the Stade de France in a friendly match. A meeting which never came to an end following the invasion of the pitch by Algerian supporters a quarter of an hour before the final whistle. And it was the last time the two nations faced each other.
While many would like France and Algeria to face each other again, the presenter of After Foot, Gilbert Brisbois, is ready to make his contribution so that this meeting takes place. “I would like that in the After, we launch the idea of organizing in the coming months an Algeria-France match, which would have sporting and diplomatic repercussions, of rapprochement between the two nations”confided the journalist on the airwaves of RMC.
“Maybe Zidane will be coach”
“By this match, maybe Zidane will be coach…” added Gilbert Brisbois. A hypothesis that would not displease Walid Acherchour. “In terms of image, we would be at the pinnacle”, he said. It must be said that “Zizou” has not hidden his wish to take control of the French team after the departure of Didier Deschamps. As a reminder, the latter is still under contract with the FFF until 2026.
At a press conference on Monday, Didier Deschamps said he was in favor of this opposition between the Blues and the Fennecs. “It’s not me who decides on friendly matches, first recalled the French coach. If there is the possibility of doing so, that would be a good thing. But it’s not my responsibility. I have no worries about having to play a match like that. »
