Does Didier Deschamps have a grudge against the Lyonnais, and Alexandre Lacazette in particular?
The allusion was made this Wednesday by a master baker, aimed at Didier Deschamps suspected of not being fond of Gones. Present in Lyon today for the launch of the 35e edition of the Yellow Pieces, the coach of the Blues was questioned on the subject by the president of the Maison de la Boulangerie Loire Rhône, Eric Amieux, while he was preparing to taste one of his croissants.
“ We know that you are a little reluctant with the Lyonnais », said the craftsman, a little teasingly. And the boss of the French team, surprised, defended himself from this allegation as best he could: “ Me ? No way ! Then… » And his interlocutor dared to insist: “ We don’t see any at all in the French team anyway… »

To this last remark, under the amused gaze of First Lady Brigitte Macron in particular, Didier Deschamps responded with a scathing reply: “ It’s up to them to be up to par! » Obviously concerned, Alexandre Lacazette, who has not been called up for military service since November 2017, will appreciate it. Like his international counterparts Espoirs Rayan Cherki or Maxence Caqueret.
