Even a victory is not enough to appease the anger of Christophe Dugarry. While the French team has just validated its ticket for the Final Four of the Nations League by beating Croatia, the former world champion preferred to return to the first leg to Split, to better denounce the style of the game of the Blues. In “Rothen ignites” on RMC, he delivered a violent charge against Didier Deschamps, a former teammate with whom he no longer hides his enmity.
Dugarry does not mince his words: “Me, I’m fed up on this team that only reacts.” He described the first half in Croatia as “Absolute purge” And is surprised that, twelve years after taking office of Deschamps, the team can still offer such a football void. He also believes that the defensive model no longer works: “She no longer won major competitions. It takes something else, another breath. ”
Deschamps gropes too much according to Dugarry
At the heart of his criticisms, a midfielder who is too needy
: “I'm tired of this short environment but does not create anything.” Dugarry claims more technical profiles, capable of ensuring a real connection with the attackers. He regrets that the tricolor coach persists in ignoring this evolution of modern football.
Dugarry – Deschamps, an old resentment never extinct
“Look at Spain, Portugal, even the Netherlands”,
lists Duga. “All these teams play with creators in the middle.” For him, Deschamps is late on his time. He has a year and a half left to offer a more ambitious game. “Even if he does not win, that at least we take pleasure.”
Dugarry wants to believe that a click is still possible: “It is never too late to change.” But knowing the temperament of Deschamps, the former striker doubts that he listens to his advice. One thing is certain: the cold war between the two men is not about to stop.
