The passage of arms between the French team and Paris Saint-Germain never ends. For good reason, the injuries of Désiré Doué, dismissed from the field for about four weeks, and Ousmane Dembélé, absent about six weeks, occurred in the first match against Ukraine on Friday. Since then, the FFF defends itself by ensuring that it has consulted the Parisian players, but PSG responded coldly to the tricolor selection and “Called to set up a new Medico-Sportive Coordination Protocol between clubs and national selection”.
Parisian frustration can be understood, since two of its best elements are already for the first classic against OM, at the Vélodrome, on September 21, and almost packages for the trip to Barcelona, on October 1. And after the scathing statement of European champions, Didier Deschamps wanted to provide his response to this controversy in an interview with Telefoot. First, the coach provides “Be aware of the situation of players when we receive the information too because there are certain clubs that give it, more or less. We have always done things with great seriousness and professionalism ”.
Didier Deschamps defends himself
Before going further and returning to the Ousmane Dembélé case. “I understand, in their place, if I was a club, I would have had the same feeling, I am not here to take risks, but obviously with Ousmane Dembélé, if you leave players on the bench, you do not take risks. But from the moment there are players who are on the field, zero risk does not exist. With the protocols that are established … I take the example of this last gathering, I have Rayan Cherki and William Saliba who are injured, the protocol says that it is acted, that they will not be able to play, so I do not make them come. The protocol provides that they (the players) must come and have their injuries on Monday morning. We see with the player how it evolves ”mentioned the tricolor coach.
Finally, Didier Deschamps spoke of the desired gifted case. “We did that with seriousness, always asking the player's feeling, before having a match, it's essential for me the feeling, I work like that. I take the last example with Désiré Doué, who asks me to go out (in the first period, against Ukraine). But afterwards, by discussing, even if I know that the desire to play takes over, if after twenty minutes, he says “I have something”, I change it “. The message has passed.
