“Zidane is France, we don’t disrespect the legend like that,” the new Real Madrid player posted on his social networks.
Since then, the former president of the FFF has been questioned about this outing in an interview with Ouest France. And if he says he doesn’t blame the attacker, NLG couldn’t help but reaffirm that he was right.
“No, and Kylian is a huge player and a remarkable boy, still young. You know, I have a very long experience in football. When you’re the boss, not everyone likes you. It’s normal that there are small clashes or things that you don’t like. But I always won, actually,”
Noel Le Great changed his mind about Zidane
At the end of the 2022 World Cup and at the time of extending Didier Deschamps as coach, Noel Le Graet made delicate remarks against Zinedine Zidane. Statements which caused the current captain of the Blues Kylian Mbappé to react, who felt that the former boss of French football had disrespected the legendary number 10.
A few years later, the 82-year-old seems to have changed his mind about the French maestro. “ In my opinion, 90% of leaders would have done the same thing. Many journalists were waiting for Zidane. The first journalist who calls me, I’m pretty much friendly. The second, a little less. Then the third one, I send him away. But it wasn’t against Zidane, who I would like to see as coach one day. I was surprised that so-called specialists, who have never managed a club, played the Zidane card, probably because they were tired of writing about Didier and saying that he plays badly. Today, France is second in the FIFA rankings. »
