The start of the week was marked by a small controversy in France…
It was a verbal altercation that did not go unnoticed. While Thierry Henry made critical remarks about the level of Ligue 1, Michel Der Zakarian, the Montpellier coach, responded to the world champion very vehemently.
“I do not agree with Thierry Henry. Where did he train? What did he do in Monaco? It was three months and it cleared. The guy works for the FFF and criticizes French football. This is bullshit! »launched the French technician, very annoyed by the words of the Espoirs coach.
“It’s free, it’s off-topic! »
The fact remains that the release of Der Zakarian was not unanimous, far from it. On RMC, Jérôme Rothen raised his voice to come to the aid of his former teammate. “His words are shameful, thundered the former French international. It’s not just about Ligue 1 but also about Thierry Henry’s coaching career. We have the right to speak badly of him but when you are a colleague, you must have a minimum of respect for the person already. You attack him personally and his profession and I find it gratuitous to take his words out of context and say: ‘he speaks, he criticizes the L1 but he only stayed three months as coach in Monaco.’ I don’t see the connection, it’s completely off topic. We can redo Michel Der Zakarian’s coaching career and I’m not even talking about the player because we can ridicule him even more.”concluded the consultant.
