You too, the media, are perhaps a little more focused on Ligue 1. I have already told him, if he had opened up a little more through his communication… But he may not want to. , he doesn’t need that. What matters is the terrain. »
“A lack of recognition for everything he does”
Deschamps then returned to the award of the 2018 Ballon d’Or, which “could have” gone to Griezmann; “In 2018, I don’t want to say that Modric didn’t deserve the Ballon d’Or, but Antoine, with the season he had, he could haveestimated the former Juve coach. That doesn’t stop him from sleeping well and living well. I wouldn’t say he’s underrated, but perhaps a lack of recognition for everything he does. »
