In conflict with Didier Deschamps, Christophe Dugarry confirmed that he no longer had any link with his former captain in the France team.
They will be on deck, the veterans of France 98. For Euro 2024, Didier Deschamps will be on the bench of the France team, Bixente Lizarazu will officiate the comments on TF1. And Christophe Dugarry will also be around, as the former striker revealed that he will be on air on M6, the competition’s other broadcaster.
In Germany, “Duga” could therefore come across Deschamps. ” Certainly ! I hope he won’t be in the stands like me, that wouldn’t be a good sign…”reacted the former Bordeaux player in an interview with L’Equipe.
“No hello, nothing”
And don’t expect a warm reunion between former teammates. Deschamps and Dugarry no longer speak to each other at all, as the latter confirmed when discussing the celebration of the 25th anniversary of France 98 last August. “There was no hello, no handshake, nothing. There is no longer any connection between us”explains Dugarry.
Deschamps criticizes his former partner for his support for Zinedine Zidane, who is seeking the position of coach of the Blues, and especially for his criticism after the 2022 World Cup. “I don’t think I’m hard on him, I’m doing my job, I just always ask myself questions, Dugarry defends. Like these 70, 80 empty minutes of the final of the last World Cup on which he never spoke. I’m still waiting for answers on the preparation, particularly mental, for this match, on what he wanted to offer tactically, if there were sick players as we said? »
