Already the target of criticism from French fans after Euro 2024, Didier Deschamps did not help his case with the second defeat in a row of the Blues in an official match, Friday evening against Italy (1-3) against Italy. The French coach even seems to have been abandoned by certain executives, like Antoine Griezmann.
Very close for many years, “Grizi” and “DD” saw their relationship deteriorate during the Euro. And the two men have clearly not patched things up since. For Christophe Dugarry, something broke down between the vice-captain of the Blues and his coach.
Dugarry: “Things are broken between Griezmann and Deschamps”
“Players are letting themselves go more and more in their statements, like Griezmann on Sunday. He can’t stand his position any more. He says ‘I’m good at football when I’m happy in my head.’ This wasn’t the case so it proves that he wasn’t happy in his head.”launched the 98 world champion on RMC.
And to add: ” Didier couldn’t find the words for his best player, for his leader, for his most important player, his best relay, for the player who did everything for him for twelve years. He can’t find the words anymore. There is no more exchange. I don’t know if things are broken between Deschamps and the group, but I think things are broken between Griezmann and Deschamps.”
